Spelt Flour Turmeric Burger Buns

Ingredients:

• 2.5 cups Hockley Valley Premium Light Spelt Flour
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 1/2 tsp yeast
1 1/4 cups warm water
1 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. oat milk or your favorite plant milk
2 tsp poppy seeds

 

Instructions:

  • Add the Hockley Valley Spelt Flour, sea salt, and turmeric to a large mixing bowl and mix until well combined.
  • Make a well in the center and add the yeast, followed by the warm water.
  • Let sit for 10 minutes. The yeast will become bloated and puffy.
  • Add the olive oil to the pool of wet ingredients, then gently mix the wet ingredients together.
  • Gradually bring in the dry ingredients from the sides until the mixture comes together into a ball of dough. Knead the dough for 2 minutes. It should have good elasticity and not stick to the side of the bowl.
  • Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise for 2 hours or until doubled in size.
  • Once doubled in size, punch the dough down and cover with the kitchen cloth again.
  • Rest it in the fridge overnight or for 8 hours.
  • After 8 hours, pull the dough from the fridge and let rest at room temperature for a half hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 410F
  • Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each one into a ball.
  • Space them out evenly on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with plant milk, then sprinkle poppy seeds on top.
  • Let the buns rest for a half hour.
  • Bake for 18 – 20 minutes. When you knock on the top of the buns they should sound hollow inside when done.
