Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cup Plant Milk 360ml
  • 3 Tbs Ground Flax 24g
  • 6 Tbs Hot Water 90ml
  • 5-6 cups Bread Flour 650g-780g
  • 1½ teaspoons Dry Yeast 4g
  • ¼ cup Vegan Butter soft 56g
  • 2 Tbs Granulated Sugar 50g
  • 2 teaspoons Salt

Instructions
 

  • WARM THE PLANT MILK TO ABOUT 90°F ADD THE YEAST & LET STAND FOR 5 MINUTES
  • COMBINE THE FLAX MEAL WITH THE HOT WATER LET STAND 5 MINUTES
  • MEASURE ABOUT 5½ CUPS OF FLOUR INTO YOUR MIXING BOWL, ADD THE SUGAR & SALT
  • GET IT MIXING WITH THE DOUGH HOOK TO COMBINE WELL
  • ADD THE MILK YEAST MIXTURE & THE FLAX PASTE & CONTINUE MIXING ON LOW SPEED TO INCORPORATE EVERYTHING WELL
  • ONCE IT STARTS TO COME TOGETHER INTO A FRAGMENTED LOOKING DOUGH ADD THE VEGAN BUTTER & CONTINUE MIXING ON LOW SPEED FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES.
  • ADJUST THE FLOUR IF NECESSARY (YOU WANT A DOUGH THAT CLEARS THE SIDES OF THE BOWL, NOT A SUPER STICKY DOUGH) MIX ON MEDIUM SPEED FOR ANOTHER 3 MINUTES
  • LIGHTLY OIL A BOWL & PLACE THE DOUGH INSIDE
  • COVER & LET IT REST IN A WARM SPOT TO DOUBLE IN SIZE THIS SHOULD TAKE ABOUT AN HOUR IN MOST NORMAL CONDITIONS
  • TURN IT OUT ONTO A LIGHTLY FLOURED SURFACE & GENTLY PRESS OUT THOSE GASSES THEN CUT INTO EQUAL SIZED PORTIONS AT 4 OUNCES EACH FOR HAMBURGER BUNS
  • NEXT TAKE EACH PIECE OF DOUGH & ROLL IT LIGHTLY INTO A BALL
  • TRANSFER EACH BUN TO A SHEET PAN PWITH ARCHMENT PAPER
  • COVER THEM AGAIN &PLACE IN A WARM SPOT TO RISE ABOUT 40 MINUTES TO 1 HOUR
  • NOW GET THE OVEN PREHEATING TO 375°F
  • BRUSH WITH AQUAFABA *optional & THIS WILL GIVE THEM A REALLY GREAT COLOR & SHINE TO THE FINISHED BUNS
  • BAKE FOR ABOUT 15 - 22 MINUTES IT REALLY DEPENDS ON WHAT SIZE YOU MADE~THE BIGGER THE BUNS THE LONGER THE BAKE & VICE VERSA

Notes

Storage As with any yeast recipe these soft buns are best served the day they are made but will stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days
For longer storage freeze in a ziploc bag for up to 2 months
