Whole Wheat Vegan Burger Buns
Description
The dough combines whole wheat flour with baking powder and baking soda to help the buns rise, while salt and optional garlic powder add flavor. Wet ingredients include unsweetened applesauce for moisture and binding, tahini for richness, and soy milk for element integration. After mixing, the slightly sticky dough is lightly kneaded and shaped into six flattened round buns.
For a finished look and additional taste, the buns can be brushed with a plant milk and maple syrup mixture and sprinkled with sesame or poppy seeds before baking. The buns bake at 400°F until golden, resulting in a firm but tender bun suitable for vegan burgers or sandwiches.
To ensure accurate dough texture, weighing flour is recommended. Avoid over kneading to prevent dense buns. For a softer result, a blend of whole wheat and white whole wheat or white flour can be used. Baked buns are best fresh but can be stored at room temperature in a sealed bag for a few days or frozen for longer storage.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 270 grams whole wheat flour approx. 2 + ¼ cups (plus more for sprinkling)
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt sea salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder optional
Wet Ingredients
- ¼ cup applesauce unsweetened
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- ⅔ cup soy milk or plant milk of choice, unsweetened or almond milk
Optional Vegan Egg Wash + Topping
- 2 tablespoons soy milk or plant milk of choice, unsweetened
- ½ teaspoon maple syrup
- ½ tablespoon sesame seeds
- ½ tablespoon poppy seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Sift all the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Then add the wet ingredients to the same bowl and stir until you have a ball of dough. It will be a little sticky.
- Sprinkle some flour on a clean cutting board or countertop. Then place your ball of dough on top and knead for 30-45 seconds, sprinkling more flour, as needed. Do not over knead.
- Now divide your dough into 6 equal pieces and shape each piece into a round, flattened disk and place them on your prepared tray.
- OPTIONAL: Combine the 2 tablespoons of plant milk with the maple syrup in a small bowl and brush each of your vegan burger buns. Then sprinkle the buns with the seeds.
- Bake in your preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, until golden brown. Then remove from the oven, let cool slightly and enjoy.
Notes
- Weigh flour for accuracy to avoid dry, dense buns.
- Do not over knead the dough to maintain a tender texture.
- For softer buns, use white whole wheat flour or a mix of whole wheat and white flour.
- Store buns in a zip-top bag at room temperature for 2-3 days or freeze airtight for up to 3 months.
