Instructions
- In a small cup, combine two Tablespoons of ground flax seed with 6 Tablespoons of warm water and let sit for a few minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl combine the instant yeast, 4 cups of the flour, sugar, and salt.
- Combine the warm milk, the warm mashed potatoes, the roasted garlic, and the flax "eggs".
- Add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
- Add the finely chopped green onion. (Add more if you love onion!)
- Knead for 5-6 minutes, adding flour as necessary to make a soft but smooth dough. It should pull away from the sides of the bowl.
- Grease the bowl with some oil and turn the dough around to coat all sides. Cover and let sit in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size. This will be about an hour.
- Line a 9 x 13 inch pan with parchment paper or grease it well.
- Divide the dough into approximately 20 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place with the seam side down into the pan.
- Cover and let rise until approximately doubled in size. This will take approximately an hour. 15 minutes before buns are ready, heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Bake the buns for about 20-25 minutes until buns are golden brown.
- Remove buns from oven and brush with a mixture of agave and melted butter.
- Let buns cool a little and then eat or let cool on a rack so that the bottoms don't get soggy. Enjoy the deliciousness!
