Sunflour Buns for Hamburgers

July 23, 2019

You'll need:

for 4 bread rolls

110g sunflour
40g ground golden flaxseed
2 large eggs
40g sunflower oil
150g pure apple puree (I used blended apple pie filling)
5-6g sea salt
6g baking soda
2g cumin powder (garlic powder or any other spice mix can be used)

extra

egg wash to apply on dough before baking
sesame seeds for decoration

options

Ground flaxseed can be substituted by flaxseed flour, or 20g flaxseed flour and 20g ground chia seeds. Using different ingredients may change the texture of the dough, but will result in the same texture of baked buns. The dough made with flaxseed flour and ground chia seeds will be most firm.

fillings

fresh avocado, sliced or mashed with homemade mustard
cured salmon
fresh cucumber, yellow capsicum, onion
chicken, cauliflower and leek patties

Method:

Step by step preparation can be found in pumpkin seed flour bread preparation here.

when using flaxseed flour and finely ground chia seeds, it is not necessary to put sunflour through a sieve
whisk eggs with apple puree for 2-3 minutes
add sunflower oil, whisk to combine
add wet ingredients to dry mixture
combine with a whisk or spatula
let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes, dough texture will thicken
the dough is soft and sticky, but holds together well

shape dough into 4 flat discs
place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper
brush bread rolls with egg wash twice
make superficial cuts in the dough
