Veggie Burgers with Homemade Buns
This recipe came to be after my husband wanted to have aburger night. While I was shopping for the ingredients, I picked up Grass Fedburger patties, local cheese, organic tomatoes and even potatoes for homemadefries. When I went to grab the burger rolls, I stopped and looked at theingredients. Too many preservatives, emulsifiers, sweeteners and even addedcolors. So began my quest to go home and make these rolls.
Now, once I decided on delicious homemade rolls, I knew Ineeded to make myself a burger! I rarely eat meat, so a veggie burger was theperfect solution. I scanned my pantry and what produce I had, and came up witha burger I think you will love.
The burger is gluten free, dairy free and can be made fully vegan.That being said, the dinner rolls are not. You can serve this burger on top ofa salad, your favorite gluten free roll, or however you choose!

Instructions:
Make ahead: Bake or steam your sweet potato. Set aside untilcool enough to handle.
In a small bowl, mix together ground flax and water. Stirand set aside until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large,rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
In the bowl of a food processor, combine all ingredients. Pulsefood processor until ingredients are incorporated. The mixture does not need tobe completely smooth, remaining bit of chickpeas or oats give a nice texture tothe burger.
Using a cookie scoop or round mold, portion into 6 even shapedpatties, smoothing as needed.
Bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway.
Serve burgers as desired. Leftover burgers keep well,refrigerated, for 4 days. Or, freeze them in a freezer bag for up to 3 months(thaw in the microwave for about 1 minute or in a 400 degree oven for 12 to 15minutes, until warmed all the way through).
Whisk together the warm water, and honey. Sprinkle with yeast.Set aside until mixture is active and foamy.
Add the flour, salt, and butter to the bowl of a stand mixerfitted with a dough hook attachment. Mix the ingredients until the butter isthe incorporated into the flour, with visible pea-sized bits of butter.
Add the yeast mixture, egg and milk. Run the mixer on mediumspeed until a dough forms, about 5-8 minutes.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl if necessary, and shapethe dough into a ball. Cover bowl with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel,and let the dough rise until it has doubled in size, about 2 hours @ 70 F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a floureddough scraper (or chef’s knife), divide the dough into 6 equal pieces of about 125 grams. If you have a scale, weigh each piece to guarantee that they’re allthe same size.
Shape the dough by cupping the surface with your palm, androll into a ball. Transfer to your baking sheet, placing them a few inchesinches apart. Cover and rest for 1-2 hours, or until puffy and slightly risen.
To make the egg wash, beat the egg with a splash of water.When the buns are finished with the 2nd rise, gently brush each one with eggwash. At this point, you could add sesame seeds to the top of your rolls.
Preheat your oven to 375 F. and place a skillet or metalbaking dish on the oven floor. Before the dough goes in, add about 1/2 cup ofwater to the pan to create steam. This will help keep the bread nice and moist.
Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Transferto a wire rack to cool completely.
