Ingredients

3 ½ - 4 cups flour (we prefer bread, can use all-purpose or whole wheat)
1 package instant yeast (2 ¼ teaspoon = 1 package)
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups water
¼ cup vegan cane sugar
½ cup vegan butter, divided (Optional, see notes)

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Then, add in the water.
Using a spatula, fold until mostly combined. Sprinkle a little more flour if needed to not be sticky and form a ball.
Once ball is formed, grease the same bowl 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.
Place on a baking sheet and repeat with remaining pieces.
Cover with a lightly damp towel.
Let sit for 60-90 minutes in a warm, draft free place or until doubled in size again.
Remove towel and brush with half the vegan butter across each.
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.

*If you are oil free, you can skip the vegan butter. Otherwise we recommend using. If you are omitting, we do recommend that you brush with vegan milk.
