[:de]Zutaten[:en]Ingredients[:]

  • 4 cups all purpose flour*
  • 1 Tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp guar gum (optional)**
  • 1 cup beetroot juice
  • 1 tsp raw cane sugar
  • 1 cube fresh yeast crumbled
  • 3 Tbsp soy coconut yoghurt***
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil

[:de]Anleitung[:en]Instructions[:]

  1. Preheat oven to 180° C | 360° F.

  2. Mix flour, chia seeds, salt & guar gum in a large bowl.

  3. Lightly heat the beetroot juice in a pan. IMPORTANT: the juice should really only be lukewarm (ideally 35-38° C | 95-100° F), otherwise the yeast will die and your buns will turn out rock hard.

    If you are unsure, simply test with a spoon on your wrist. If it feels pleasantly lukewarm there, it's the right temperature.

  4. Pour the warm juice into a small bowl and add the sugar and yeast. Stir well until the yeast has dissolved.

  5. Add the yeast-juice mixture, the yoghurt and the oil to the dry ingredients and mix everything into a dough. Then knead for 5 minutes on a lightly floured surface until you have a flexible, slightly moist yeast dough.

  6. Form 12 round burger buns and place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Cover with a dishcloth and leave in a warm place for 1 hour.

  7. After the resting time, the buns should have visibly enlarged. Now bake them for 12 minutes.

  8. Allow the finished buns to cool on a stove rack.

[:de]Anmerkungen[:en]Notes[:]

The burger buns can be easily frozen and after thawing taste just as fresh and delicious.

 

* I have used all purpose wheat flour. You can also replace some of the flour with wholegrain flour, but the consistency of the buns will be less fluffy then.
 
** The guar gum ensures that the buns stay a bit 'moist' inside and thus get the perfect burger bun consistency.
 
*** Or any other plant-based yoghurt of your choice.

 

I always choose organic produce whenever possible. It’s not only better for my health (and yours, too), but also for our environment. 🌍💫💚
