Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 c Vital Wheat Gluten Flour
  • 12.3 oz extra firm silken tofu (shelf stable)
  • 3/4 c unsweetened soy milk + 1 tbsp
  • 1/4 c Nutritional yeast + 1 tbsp
  • 1-1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2-1 tsp salt
  • seasoning of your choice (if desired) to change flavor

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375F. In a high speed blender, toss extra firm silken tofu and soy milk. Blend until smooth and set aside.
  2. In a separate dish, add all your dry ingredients. Mix well. Pour wet into dry and use a spatula to incorporate everything nicely. Dough will be very wet and sticky. There is no need to knead the dough. Simply incorporate everything using the spatula.
  3. Line a baking tray with a parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. With a spoon, scoop the dough in 8 equal portions of a bun-size ball and place one by one on a parchment paper. Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes at 375F.

Store in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. The buns also freeze nicely.
