Ingredients:

COFFEE ALMOND MILK BUNS | Plant-Based Bread

  • 400 grams of bread flour
  • 200 ml almond milk, lukewarm
  • 5 grams of instant yeast
  • 60 grams of dark sugar
  • 2 tbsp instant coffee
  • 3 grams of bread improver
  • 50 ml of vegetable oil

Procedure:

Preparing the Dough
  1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine the lukewarm almond milk and instant yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the bread flour, dark sugar, instant coffee, and bread improver.
  3. Create the dough: Pour the activated yeast mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough: Add the vegetable oil and knead it for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  5. First rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1-2 hours).
Shaping and Baking
  1. Punch down: Gently punch down the risen dough to release the air.
  2. Divide and shape: Divide the dough into desired sizes (e.g., for buns, divide into equal portions). Shape the dough into your preferred shape (round, oval, etc.).
  3. Second rise: Place the shaped buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  5. Bake: Bake the buns for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  6. Cool: Let the buns cool slightly before serving.
  7. Enjoy your homemade Coffee Almond Milk Buns!
Note: You can adjust the baking time based on the size of your buns and your oven.

Shaping and Filling Your Coffee Almond Milk Buns

Shaping Ideas:

  • Classic Round Buns: This is the most common shape. After dividing the dough into equal portions, roll each piece into a smooth ball.
  • Oval Buns: Similar to round buns but elongated for a different shape.
  • Knotted Buns: For a more intricate look, shape the dough into long strips and tie them into knots.
  • Crown Buns: Create a ring shape with the dough and pinch the ends together to form a crown.

Filling Ideas:

  • Coffee and Chocolate Chip: A classic combination that complements the coffee flavor.
  • Cinnamon and Sugar: A warm and comforting filling that pairs well with the soft buns.
  • Almond Paste: For a luxurious touch, fill the buns with almond paste.
  • Dried Fruit and Nut: Add texture and sweetness with a mixture of dried cranberries, raisins, and chopped walnuts.

To add a filling:

  • Roll out the dough into a rectangle.
  • Spread your desired filling evenly over the dough.
  • Roll up the dough tightly and pinch the seam closed.
  • Cut the roll into desired sizes and shape as you prefer.
