Bread, bread. I think everyone is making bread right now and honestly it makes sense. We have a lot of time in our hands and bread usually takes time, sadly, I have a lot of workload so during the week I don’t have that much time to cook – even if I’m at home. I still wanted to join everyone and feel included in this bread making adventure, so I tried making bread that didn’t take 10 hours. Then I realized I didn’t have any of the ingredients you usually use to make bread, but I persisted. I came up with a random recipe and honestly? The bread was delish. Paul Hollywood would probably find at least 20 flaws to my homemade bread buns recipe, but who cares, my tummy was happy.
🇫🇷 N’oubliez pas, la recette est en français tout en bas !
Ingredients to prepare these bread buns
- Whole wheat flour: Because it’s the only type of flour I had left at home, and supermarkets hadn’t had any in a while.
- Plant based milk: I chose soy milk for my bread, but you can use any.
- Water.
- Salt: cause otherwise it will be really bland.
- Vinegar & honey.
- Baking powder.
How to prepare this homemade bread buns recipe
Alright, so as I have said, this was my first time making any type of bread. I started my recipe by mixing some milk and vinegar and letting it rest for 10 minutes. While that was happening, I mixed the flour, salt and baking powder in a bowl. Once the 10 minutes passed, I mixed it all together and added some water. I kneaded the dough until it was on the drier side.
Then I shaped the dough in individual buns, I knew they were not going to grow a lot, because I wasn’t leaving the dough to rise, so I shaped my breads into 6 mini buns. The purpose of these were for breakfast/snacks, hence the smaller size. I added some seeds but then I realized that they were not going to hold because they weren’t properly mixed with the dough, so yeah.
After 20 minutes in the oven and some time to rest, I had six very beautiful bread buns ready to be eaten. They were tastier than i thought and they had quite the crunch to them (the right amount). So this was, in my humble opinion, a breadsuccess. I would give myself a Hollywood handshake but that’d only happen in my head.
More (bread?) to come
One thing that’s good about being home these days is that I can cook at lunchtime and take advantage of the beautiful natural light. So I’m cooking more “savory” recipes and making my lunches more beautiful and trying a lot of things. I have a bunch of recipes already prepared (and written) which will ensure a regular posting in the upcoming weeks (unless I get sick again, which please, no).

Homemade Bread Buns (no yeast!) Recipe
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups of whole wheat flour + a bit extra when kneading
- ⅓ cup of soy milk or whatever plant based milk you want to use
- ½ cup water
- 2 tbsp salt
- 1 tbsp vinegar (red wine)
- ½ tbsp honey
- 1 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven at 200ºC and put some parchment paper on an oven tray.
- In a bowl, put the milk with the vinegar and let it rest for around 10 minutes.
- In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Once the 10 minutes have passed, pour the milk batter into the flour one and add the water as you mix it.
- Knead the dough and add more flour if necessary.
- Use the dough and make it into six small buns. I did it this way because I wanted individual breakfast bread buns, but you can use the same batter and make larger bread buns (cooking time will be longer, though).
- Place the buns in the parched oven tray and cook them in the oven for around 20 minutes.
- Let them rest a bit and enjoy. We have eaten them for breakfast with butter & jam and also peanut butter.
Mini pains fait maison sans levure de pain – recette en français
Ingrédients
- 450 gr farine complète (et un peu plus quand on va pétrir la pâte)
- 100ml boisson végétal de votre choix (j’ai utilisé un boisson de soja)
- 125ml d’eau
- 2 cuillères à soupe de sel
- 1 cuillère à soupe de vinaigre de vin rouge
- ½ cuillère à soupe de miel
- 1 cuillère à café de levure chimique
Instructions
- Préchauffer le four à 200ºC et préparer un plateau de four avec du papier de cuisson.
- Dans un bol, mélanger le boisson végétal et le vinaigre et reposer pendant 10 minutes.
- Dans un autre bol, mélanger la farine, la levure et le sel.
- Une fois les 10 minutes sont passées, mélanger le bol de lait et vinaigre dans le bol de farine. Ajouter l’eau après et bien mélanger.
- On va maintenant pétrir un peu la pâte, vous pouvez ajouter plus de farine si vous trouvez que la pâte est trop humide.
- Utiliser la pâte pour faire 6 petit pains, vous pouvez faire des petit pains plus gros que la taille que j’ai fait, mais le temps de cuisson sera plus long.
- Mettre les petit pains dans le plateau de four et cuire pendant 20 minutes.
- Laisser reposer un petit peu, et vous pouvez les déguster ! Nous avons mangé ces petit pains avec du beurre et de la confiture pour le petit dej, et aussi avec du beurre de cacahuète.
