I love making simple yeast-free recipes, like my Yeast-Free Cinnamon Rolls, Vegan Almond Croissant Pastry, and Easy Garlic Knots. It makes the whole baking easier and faster, which saves me so much time in our busy weeks!
Ingredients and Substitutions
Self-Rising Flour – Self-rising flour is a simple combination of all-purpose flour with baking powder. If you don’t have it, you can make your own by mixing one cup of flour with 2 teaspoons of baking powder. Vanilla Yogurt – I use soy vanilla yogurt because it brings more protein than other alternatives, but you can use any yogurt you like. Plant-Based Butter – There are many brands of vegan butter that works, like Earth Balance, or Miyoko’s Creamery. Measure the butter once melted.
How to Make Yogurt Buns
You’ll find all the details in the recipe card below, but I’ve included here photos of the main steps. The trick to making these yogurt buns fluffy with stringy pieces like in my vegan brioche is to divide the dough into 4 equal parts, roll flat with a rolling pin, then fold and roll into a cylinder see picture. This technique make the brioche stringy and so close to a yeast brioche.
Serving Suggestions
These buns can be served for breakfast, snack, or even dessert. For breakfast, serve them with baby jam, nut butter, or add up to 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in the dough to make chocolate chips buns. You can also use them as a quick snack at home, work, or in a kid’s lunchbox. For dessert, they can be served dipped into melted chocolate or peanut butter sauce.
