Ingredients
- 480 grams All-purpose flour
- 7 grams Instant dry yeast
- 30 grams Granulated sugar
- 7 grams Salt
- 240 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
- 60 grams Vegan butter, melted
- 60 milliliters Water, warm
- 5 grams Neutral oil (e.g., vegetable or canola)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, instant dry yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture is foamy.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Whisk to evenly distribute the salt.
Step 3
Warm the almond milk until lukewarm (not hot) and combine it with the melted vegan butter.
Step 4
Pour the yeast mixture and the almond milk mixture into the bowl with the flour. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 5
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook and knead for 6-8 minutes.
Step 6
Lightly coat a large mixing bowl with the neutral oil. Place the dough ball into the bowl, cover with a damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 60-90 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Step 7
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release air. Divide it into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
Step 8
Place the dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced evenly apart. Cover them lightly with a damp kitchen towel and let them rise for 30-40 minutes until puffed up.
Step 9
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
Step 10
Brush the tops of the buns with a little almond milk to encourage browning if desired.
Step 11
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 12
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them plain or with your favorite fillings!
