I know you’ve been dreaming about soft vegan burger buns that are crispy on the outside and super fluffy on the inside.
When you bite your burger made with these buns it won’t fall apart. They are heavenly light, gently crispy, slightly sweet, moist and soft. After so many fails I finally made it. PERFECT SOFT VEGAN burger buns.
Mix together warm (about 105˚F) soya milk, melted vegan butter, flax egg* and sugar. Sprinkle with dry yeast and set aside for 10 minutes.
Now add sifted flour and salt. Stir until combined and start kneading. I used stand mixer first and then continued with my hands. Knead until the dough is elastic and forms a ball. It should be a bit sticky still.
Put the dough into a greased bowl, cover with cling film and keep in a warm place for 1 to 1 1/2 hours to double in volume.
Divide the dough into 4-6 pieces depending on a size you want your buns to be. Again let it rest on the lined baking tray for 10 minutes. And now form your future burger buns. Cover with cling film again and let the buns double in volume (approximately for 1 hour).
Preheat oven to 380˚F.
Brush each dough ball with plant milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake for 15-20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and cover the buns with kitchen towel. This will protect them from drying out. Let the buns to cool down under the towel for 15 minutes before assembling burgers.
Note: to make flax egg simply mix together 1 tbsp of flaxseed meal with 3 tbsp of water. Let it sit for few minutes to absorb water.

Question: have you made this with GF flours? Can it be done? This looks yummy!
Unfortunately I didn’t try it with GF flour. But if you know the blend that works well in similar recipes (buns, soft bread or even pizza dough) give it a try. Let me know how it worked!
Hello. is there an option to sub vegan butter to oil? Not many choices where I live. Thank you

Hello!
You can use margarine or coconut oil. Or even regular oil but I’m not sure that buns will turn this fluffy and crispy.
Thank you si much for thus great recipe. Best fluffy vegan buns we’ve ever made. We served them with some black bean patties, really delicious!

Thank you for your feedback, Soleil!
I’m so glad you’ve liked it!
Want to make but my conversion of milk and flour isn’t working to ounces (milk) and cups (flour).
Can you provide measurements in that form please?
soy milk – 6.5oz
flour – 1 3/4 C
