How to make Vegan Hamburger Buns
To make these hamburger buns you’ll need the basic ingredients of bread baking: Flour, yeast, water, salt, plus we add a bit of sugar for softness and help with fermentation, a little bit of shortening also for texture, and oatmeal to coat before baking (but you can use other ingredients like seeds, nuts or other grains to coat).
The process is fairly simple as well, and something that you can do by hand:

Vegan Hamburger Buns
Ingredients
- 550 g Bread flour 12% or more protein
- 60 gr vegetable shortening
- 50 gr sugar
- 10 gr salt
- 8 gr instant yeast
- 350 gr lukewarm water
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients and add water.
- Start mixing with your hands until you form a rough dough. Keep kneading until you get an homogeneous dough with no dry spots.
- Lightly grease the bowl, and let the dough rest in the bowl, covered in plastic wrap, until doubled in size.
- Gently deflate the dough, and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Flatten it out to form a round shape. Cut into 8 portions. Lightly oil the palm of your hands to shape each piece into a ball.
- Brush the top with water, and dip into a bowl of oatmeal, your preferred seeds or a mix of both.
- Place the buns in a baking sheet, covered with baking paper.
- Bake the buns in a preheated at 190°C (375°F) oven for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden.
- Remove from the oven, and place on a cooling rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
