Ingredients

10 servings

For the flax egg

2 tbsp ground flaxseed
6 tbsp warm water (about 110°f / 43°c)

For the dough

2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 standard packet)
¼ cup warm whole milk (about 110°f / 43°c)
Chef's tip
Use the same amount of soy milk as regular milk. It's one of the most reliable milk swaps and works in almost any recipe, including sauces, custards, and baked goods. In cold drinks or uncooked dishes you may notice a mild soy flavor.
3 tbsp granulated sugar, divided
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tsp fine salt
10 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch cubes, at room temperature
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.

For the wash

In a small bowl, stir together the ground flaxseed and 6 tbsp warm water until combined. Let sit for 10 minutes, until the mixture thickens to a gel-like consistency.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the warm milk, 1 tbsp of the sugar, and the yeast. Stir briefly and let stand for 5–8 minutes, until foamy and fragrant.
