• 250g flour
• 25g caster sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 6g instant yeast
• 50g vegan butter, cubed
• 150 ml soy/oat milk

For the glaze

• 2 tsp maple syrup
• 3 tbsp plant milk
• Sesame seeds

• 2 tbsp mayo
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tbsp mustard
• Handful of pickles, finely chopped
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp onion powder
• Salt & pepper

• 2 x Beyond Smash patties
• Fried onions
• Tomatoes
• Lettuce
• Pickles
• Vegan cheese slices

Mix flour, sugar, salt, instant yeast, and plant milk in a bowl. Knead until smooth.

Gradually add the cubed vegan butter in cubes, kneading until the dough is smooth. Prove for two hours then shape into buns and prove for another 30 minutes.

Glaze and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake at 200°C for 15 minutes, then cover with foil and bake eight to ten minutes more.

For the burgers, heat some oil in a pan and add the Beyond Smash patties. Smash them flat with the back of a spatula (you can fry the onions at the same time).

Cook the patties on each side until golden brown then add vegan cheese. Add a splash of water to the pan and cover with a lid to melt the cheese.

Toast the buns. Assemble the burger and tuck in.
