Preparazione

1. 1

   --- Burger Buns ---

2. 2

   Warm the soy milk to 104 °F (40 °C) and pour it into a small bowl. Add the sugar and the yeast and stir to dissolve. Then set aside for about 3 minutes until the mixture starts to foam (this way you know that the yeast has activated).

3. 3

   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Form a mold in the middle and pour in the yeast mixture and water. Add the vegan butter pieces, and mix with a wooden spoon until it comes together. Then transfer everything onto a work surface and knead it with your hands for about 5-8 minutes until a smooth dough forms (or use a stand mixer with dough hooks attached).

4. 4

   Then form the dough into a ball, place in an oiled bowl and brush with a little water. Cover with a tea towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 45-60 minutes, or until the dough has doubled in size. (Alternatively, you can put the dough in the refrigerator overnight. There it rises slowly so that you can continue the next day).

5. 5

   After the resting time, divide the dough into 9 pieces (100 g each). Form each piece into a bun and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between each bun. Cover with a tea towel and allow to rise for another 20-30 minutes.

6. 6

   After approx. 15 minutes of resting time, preheat the oven to 356 °F (180 °C) (so it’ll be hot once the buns are done proofing).

7. 7

   Lightly brush your buns with soy cream mixed with a pinch of turmeric (this will create a shiny golden color) and bake for about 25-30 minutes.
