In a big bowl, pour the flour and dig a little hole.
Add the oil, curcuma, and the yeast into the hole.
Add the water little by little while slowly combining the mixture.
Mix until well combined. Then transfer to a working surface and knead, using extra flour to work the dough.
Form a ball and let it sit for at least one hour. The dough should double in volume.
Knead again and form 2 buns of the size and shape you want.
Let the buns sit for 45 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Brush the buns with a bit of plant milk and sprinkle some seeds on top.
Bake at 200°C for around 15 minutes. Feel free to bake it less or more depending on how you like your buns.
Enjoy your freshly baked golden buns!
If you plan to freeze the buns, cut them in half first so they are easier to use later.
Use extra flour while kneading to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands or the surface.
Experiment with different seeds on top, such as sesame or poppy seeds, for added flavor and texture.
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of white flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour, but the texture may be denser. You might need to adjust the water quantity slightly.
What is curcuma powder?
Curcuma powder is another name for turmeric powder. It gives the buns their golden color and adds a subtle earthy flavor.
Can I make these buns gluten-free?
You can try using a gluten-free flour blend, but the texture and rise may differ. Ensure the blend is suitable for bread-making.
How do I store the buns?
Store the buns in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze them for longer storage.
Can I skip the plant milk brushing step?
Yes, but brushing with plant milk helps the seeds stick and gives the buns a nice golden finish.
