Ingredients
- 240 g farine d'épeautre
- 10 g levure boulangère
- 1 cuillère à café sucre
- 1 cuillère à café sel
- 180 ml lait végétal
- 2 cuillères à soupe huile d'olive
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 240 g of spelt flour, 10 g of instant yeast, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix the dry ingredients until well blended.
- Create a well in the center of the dry mixture and add 180 ml of lukewarm plant-based milk and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir gently until a sticky dough forms, ensuring it pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Once the dough has risen, knead it again briefly to release air bubbles. Divide it into 4 equal portions and shape each into a ball. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart.
- Bake the buns for 15-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For best preservation, store the buns at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Avoid refrigeration to maintain their moisture.
