These hamburger buns are very easy to make, need few simple ingredients, and have an ideal flavor and texture.

Finding good-quality hamburger buns is no easy task, since most of those sold in bakeries and supermarkets contain milk, eggs, and preservatives and additives that, besides being unhealthy, usually don't make their origin clear, as is the case with mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, also labeled E471, which can be of plant or animal origin (animal fat, to be precise).

With this recipe, besides getting around this problem, you get a bun that is soft yet sturdy, perfect for building delicious plant-based burgers, giving them stability and texture.

Notes

You can use almost any vegetable milk because almost all of them are very soft and do not alter the flavor.

You can substitute aquafaba for a mixture of water and flax seeds, where the ratio would be 1 tablespoon of ground flax seeds and 3 tablespoons of water, for every 3 tablespoons of aquafaba. You just have to mix and let stand 10 minutes.

If you use wholemeal flour and panela, the bread will be healthier, but if you want it whiter and even fluffier, you can use white sugar and strength flour.

Step 1
We mix the yeast with the warm water and, when it has dissolved, we reserve.
Step 2
In a bowl, we toss the aquafaba, the almond milk, the sugar, the oil and the salt, and mix until obtaining a homogeneous texture. Then add also the dissolved yeast.
Step 3
Add the flour and knead for 10 minutes, until all the ingredients are well mixed.

Step 4
Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rest for 1 hour.
Step 5
After this time, we divide the dough into small balls, we give them the shape of hamburger bread, and place them on a baking tray with baking paper and a little flour, separated from each other. Let it sit for 30 minutes at room temperature.
Step 6
We brush the loaves with a little oil, sprinkle some seeds on top (optional) and, with the oven preheated, we put them in the oven for 15-18 minutes at 175 °C, watching to make sure they don't burn.
Step 7
When they are well baked, we take the loaves out of the oven and serve them.
