My grains are ground in my Nutrimill, which I would be lost without. Rye flour- I used a dark rye, but if you prefer, use a lighter rye.All purpose flour- I love to use a blend of all-purpose and rye for a lighter bun.Granulated sugar- you can also use brown sugar or honey.Active dry yeast- make sure and check the expiration date on the yeast.Warm water- you only want this about 100 degrees, so just warm to the touch.It adds a healthier chew than the typical hoagie bun.

I love to use these buns for burgers, but also for sandwiches as well. The addition of rye flour adds to the health benefits of whole-grain flour, and it is a good one. This is a delicious bun, but also a healthier one. These are the best of 2 worlds- a delicious hamburger bun and the chewy texture of a pretzel. I used these rye pretzel buns for teriyaki chicken burgers and they were so good!! What Makes These Buns Work? I love using rye in my whole-grain baked goods because I really love the flavor! Also, making them into a pretzel bun is even better, it gives it that really chewy and yummy crust! Best served immediately with your favorite spread or store in a bread bag for up to 3 days.These Pretzel Bun Recipe- Rye are great for any sandwich.Make sure the cross is still there, or renew it and place the tray in the oven for 8-10 minutes until golden brown, watching closely so it won't burn. Repeat until all of the dough balls have been cooked. Add each dough ball into the pot and allow to cook for 1 minute, flipping over halfway through, then remove from the water using a slotted spoon or spatula and place back on the baking tray. Add in the baking soda and bring to a boil, then reduce to medium heat and let simmer. Preheat your oven to 200C/400F and place a small/medium pot over high heat with the 4 cups water.Let rise another 30 minutes, then cut a cross on top of each ball. Roll each piece into a ball and place on a lined baking sheet with enough distance apart. Knead with a little bit more flour if too sticky, the cut into 6 equal pieces. Punch the dough down and take out of the bowl.Cover with a towel and let rest for 1 hour until the dough has doubled. Return the dough to the bowl and turn it around a few times so that it becomes coated with a thin layer of oil. Clean your large bowl and slightly grease with oil.Place the remaining 0.5 cup flour on a working surface, place the dough on top and knead for 5-8 minutes until you have a moist, but not sticky dough. Pour in the yeast mixture and mix thoroughly. In a separate large non-metal bowl, add 1 cup flour and salt and combine.Add the sugar and briefly stir everything together, then put aside and let rest for 5 minutes until the yeast has activated. Place the yeast together with the lukewarm water into a small bowl (the water should be warm but not hot).A lot of people have asked for a gluten-free version but I haven’t mastered that one yet! Instead of white sugar you could use coconut or brown sugar. For the flour, I tried making it with all-purpose flour and spelt flour and they both work great. Now, there is some leeway in regards to the ingredients. You’ll need 6 basic ingredients: flour, salt, yeast, water, baking soda, and sugar. No matter the name, they are incredibly delicious! I’ll definitely be making these all the time now just because you can ‘healthify’ them a bit when making at home and they’re 100 times better when fresh out of the oven (and made with love)! 🙂 In fact, these Vegan Pretzel Buns only require 6 very basic ingredients, no fancy equipment and they come out better than the bakery ones – you’ll see! 😉įun fact: in Germany we don’t actually call pretzel buns pretzel buns, but rather ‘brine buns’ because of the special leach you dump those buns in. I don’t know why but for some reason I always thought that bread-making is a difficult endeavor. Growing up in Germany, pretzel buns have been a staple food during my childhood! A lot of the store-bought ones, however, are not always vegan, so it was about time to create an easy homemade version of Vegan Pretzel Buns! These little fluffy pillow are my new favorite thing! They are ridiculously easy to make and come out perfectly.
