Vegan spelled burger buns go perfectly with any type of burger, whether with vegetables or meat. Homemade burger buns are a fun way to add a twist to the usual grilling routine. If there are any left, bag them up and freeze them for another day.
I tried numerous bun recipes before I found my favorite. Homemade burger buns often bear only a vague resemblance to the pillowy, similar-looking, industrially-formed things. But these guys are really something special – soft, fluffy, light and beautiful. They are perfect for burgers and as buns. I think they’re definitely the best rolls I’ve ever made. 😉

Why do I use spelled flour?

Its nutritional profile is far superior to that of common wheat.

The first most notable fact is that it is much easier to digest than regular wheat. Spelled (Triticum spelta) is one of the oldest known types of grain. Its origins date back to the Egyptians 8,000 years ago.
In fact, humans are not said to have modified it for modern farming standards, so it’s perfect for people who want less stress on their digestive systems.
Spelled is healthy and contains more and higher-quality protein, more minerals and vitamins, as well as a high proportion of unsaturated fatty acids and fiber.

Yeast

Yeast cubes always weigh 42 g. This is the amount of yeast you should use on 1kg of flour. You should not use more than one fresh yeast cube of 42 g, because it is better to use yeast sparingly. With less yeast, however, the dough needs more time (even overnight) until it has risen to the desired volume, since the yeast fungi have to multiply first.

That means now in plain language, if we bake with only one hour rising time, we have to use a whole cube of fresh yeast per 500 g of flour. On the other hand, if we let the dough rise for 24 hours, such as for an Italian pizza, 5 g of fresh yeast or even less are sufficient for 500 g of flour. Rule of thumb: The less yeast you use and the longer the dough has to rise, the more aromatic the taste of the baked goods will be. So if you now only use half the amount, it improves the quality of your rolls, but the dough then has to rise longer.

Fresh yeast vs. dry yeast

Two packets of dry yeast of 7 g each correspond to the raising power of a cube of fresh yeast of 42 g. This means that a packet of dry yeast, like half a cube of fresh yeast, is sufficient for 500 g of flour.

Dry yeast is easier to dose and has a longer shelf life compared to fresh yeast, which can usually be stored in the refrigerator for around 14 days. Refrigerated storage is also recommended for dry yeast.
