Servings: 4 buns
Ingredients
Flax Egg
- 1 tbsp flaxseed meal
- 2 tbsp water
Dough
- 3 grams dry yeast
- 100 grams lukewarm water
- 200 grams bread flour (strong flour)
- 1 tbsp cane sugar
- 1 tbsp vegan butter
- 1/2 tsp salt
Toppings
- coconut oil for coating
- seeds of your choice if you prefer seeded buns
Instructions
Make flax egg
- Mix flaxseed meal with water. Let it sit for 10 minutes to thicken. If it doesn't thicken enough, let it sit in the fridge for an additional 10 minutes.
Dough
- Add flax egg and all the dough ingredients in a large bowl, and mix together to create a shaggy dough.
- Transfer dough onto a clean surface. Knead the dough for about 15 minutes, or until it becomes soft and smooth, slightly tacky.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it. Keep in a warm place and let the dough rise for 60 minutes, until it's double in size. (The first rise)
- Punch the dough to deflate, and divide it into 4 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and gently flatten them into a bun shape.
- Cover with a towel and let it rise for 45 minutes. (The second rise)
- With 15 minutes left of the second rise, preheat the oven to 375℉/190℃.
- Lightly brush the top of buns with coconut oil, and sprinkle seeds of your choice. Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven, and allow the buns to cool completely. Slice and assemble a burger with all of the fixings of your choice. Enjoy!
