Yeast free hamburger buns

I love bread and used to eat it alot. Unfortunately, as I entered my thirties I developed a yeast sensitivity and had to cut all yeast products out of my diet. I tried alot of yeast free bun recipes I found online, but none were satisfactory. Thankfully, I finally found this recipe and it changed my life. These buns are soft yet hearty, and can be used as both buns and bread. They’re easy to make too.

What I also love about this recipe is how versatile it is. You can easily change it to match your dietary or taste requirements. You can use gluten free flours if you’re gluten intolerant, or whole-wheat to make it higher in nutrients and fibre. Whatever your taste, these buns are the perfect and easy choice.

Making Yeast Free Hamburger Buns

Making hamburger buns without yeast is a much easier process than when you use yeast. They take a fraction of the time and the results are just as good. For this recipe I used spelt flour as it’s low gluten and has an appealing, nutty flavour, and whole wheat flour because it’s healthier.

The hamburger buns are mixed in a single bowl and then let to rise for one hour. Once risen, the dough is gently rolled out and cut with a biscuit cutter.

The buns are baked and then let to cool on a baking rack. I usually slice them during the cooling stage when they are still soft. Once cooled, they become firmer and more dense and breadlike. The buns then can be eaten fresh or frozen for later.

I like to top the buns with sesame seeds but you can use any seed to garnish, even a seed blend. Garnishing with seeds adds a nice, professional looking touch and adds taste and nutrition to the buns.

Enjoying Your Yeast Free Hamburger Buns

These hamburger buns are wonderfully versatile and can be eaten with every meal and with every type of filler. I especially love to eat them open faced with almond butter and banana and berries for breakfast or with avocado for a quick high protein, high fibre snack.
