cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

Coconut oil is dairy-free and adds a subtle flavor.

Mix warm water, yeast, salt, and sugar thoroughly with a whisk, fork, or spatula.

Add flour and stir everything together until no flour streaks remain.

Let the dough rest at room temperature for 1 hour until it appears to be twice the original size.

Transfer the dough to a well-floured surface and fold it over on itself twice or thrice.

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and form each piece into a ball.

Place the balls on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet with flour.

Spray water on the buns and let the dough rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.

Use a sharp knife to cut a slit across the top of the buns.

Bake at 190°C (375°F) for 20 minutes.
