How do I make vegan hamburger buns?
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, vegan sugar and salt. Then, add in the water.
Using a spatula, fold until mostly combined. Sprinkle a little more flour if you need to not be sticky and form a ball.
Once your ball is formed, you will want to grease the same bowl you mixed in and place the dough ball back into the bowl.
Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let sit for 60-90 minutes in a warm, draft free place.
Once doubled, roll out onto a lightly floured surface.
Cut dough into 8 equal pieces. *We prefer to weigh the pieces on a scale so they are even.
Grab a piece and fold the ends under shaping into a ball. Then roll the dough into a ball with your hands.
Place on a baking sheet and repeat with remaining pieces.
Cover with a damp towel. (not soaking wet but damp)
Let sit for 60-90 minutes in a warm, draft free place or until doubled in size again.
Remove towel and brush with vegan butter.
Bake at 375 degrees for 25-35 minutes.
Remove from oven and brush with more vegan butter.
Slice in half and use however you would want buns.
I’m oil free, Do I have to use vegan butter?
If you are oil free, you do not have to use vegan butter. However, the buns will be lighter in color and not as flakey on the top.
We would recommend that you brush lightly with plant based milk.
Can I make vegan hamburger buns Top 8 Allergen Free?
Unfortunately, at the time, we cannot recommend using a gluten free flour with this recipe. Please know that we are working on a gluten free dough, but it’s just not quite there yet.
For the vegan butter, we recommend Earth Balance Soy Free, it comes in a red tub.
How long are vegan hamburger buns good for?
These will last for 4-5 days if stored properly in an air tight container. After that you run the risk of mold and they will not be as soft. Warm before using.

Yes. You could place these in an air tight container or freezer bag for up to 2 months. Remove from the freezer and let thaw out overnight.

Can I make this with Active Dry Yeast?
Yes! It may just take a bit longer to rise. Make sure that it’s rising as stated and not just looking at the time
Hi… I want to ask u, can i replace cane sugar with sorghum sugar?
I’ll be honest, we have not tried this; however, from my research, it appears it should be a 1:1 swap.
