Recipe Highlights
These buns are so soft, light, and flavorful that they’re worth the extra effort required to make them from scratch. They can be made to any size too, so bring on your biggest patties! We don’t use trans fats or additives in our burger buns, which means you can feel good about serving these to your family and friends. Even better, we’ve ramped up the health factor by using spelt flour instead of regular wheat flour. Famous for being higher in fiber, protein, and iron than regular wheat flour, spelt flour adds a delicious nutty flavor that will lend a delicious depth of flavor to your burgers. Best of all, spelt flour is easy to digest.
FLAX EGGS. These vegan “eggs” are made from ground flaxseeds and water. Look for golden flaxseed meal in your local grocery store’s baking or health aisle. SOY MILK. Make sure you purchase natural soy milk, which doesn’t have any added sweeteners or flavors. HONEY. All-natural honey helps yeast dough rise faster and better, which ensures a wonderful spongy texture. I used natural flower honey in my buns, but any type of honey will do. Experiment with different flavor profiles from the woods, grass, or mountains! BUTTER. We recommend using unsalted butter in this recipe. YEAST. We used Active Dry yeast for this recipe, but you can use Instant yeast if that is what you have handy. If using instant yeast, you do not need to proof it. Instead, just mix it with the dry ingredients.. SPELT FLOUR. Be sure to check the label to make sure there aren’t any added ingredients in the brand you’re reviewing. SALT. Table salt is fine for this recipe, but we recommend using sea salt or kosher salt for a better taste. SESAME SEEDS. We love their crunch and nutrient value, but you can use poppy seeds or any other seed you have on hand.
Be sure to leave enough time to preheat your oven. Ideally, your oven can rest at its preheated temperature for 10 minutes before you open the oven door. Once the buns are in the oven to bake, avoid opening the door since this can reduce the heat and limit the amount of loft they achieve.
Storing & Freezing Instructions
These buns can be stored on the countertop for up to 3 days. We recommend storing them in a plastic bag to retain their fluffy softness. If you refrigerate these buns, we recommend storing them in a plastic bag for up to 5 days. We also recommend re-heating the buns before serving. To freeze these egg-free hamburger buns, place them in freezer bags and use a straw to draw out as much air as possible. Frozen buns will last for up to 3 months.
