Vegan Sandwich Buns

[BakerAunt]

Next week we go to my husband's cousins' reunion. I've been asked to do a vegan sloppy jo (one cousin is a vegan), which means that I also need to do vegan buns to put them on. All my bun recipes use buttermilk and eggs. I looked at the King Arthur site and found this one:

I would omit the dried onion and herbs, as there is no point with the filling. I have potato flour, and that will at least add some calcium. I plan to make them half whole wheat and add 2 Tbs. flax meal, so I will increase the water slightly. I might also increase the olive oil to 3 Tbs. to make them softer. I would make 8 buns per recipe.

Has anyone tried this recipe? I don't really have time to do a test run before baking them on Sunday, and I will need to make two batches.

I will probably make a smaller amount of vegan sloppy jo and a larger amount of beef for the rest of us. However, I don't want to bake two different kinds of buns.

You should be able to find several recipes for buns that use shortening or plant butter, which are vegan.

Here's one.

That's an interesting recipe, Mike. It seems to omit a second rise, which cannot be correct.

My big problem with most vegan recipes is that they tend to skimp on nutrition, which is why I want to use at least half whole wheat, as well as olive oil. I may go ahead and do a test run on my adaptation of the King Arthur recipe. If we don't like it, I will try this one, although I would add a second rise.
