Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Create the Tangzhong by combining white bread flour with non-dairy milk in a saucepan. Whisk continuously until thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooled tangzhong, cold non-dairy milk, sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and instant yeast. Gradually mix in remaining flour until shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1-2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Roast rhubarb with sugar and orange juice for about 10 minutes until softened.
- After dough has risen, punch it down and divide into 10 pieces. Shape into discs and let rise for 30-45 minutes.
- Prepare the frangipane filling by whisking ground almonds, cornstarch, sugar, and melted vegan butter until smooth.
- Spoon frangipane filling into each bun, top with roasted rhubarb, and brush edges with non-dairy milk or syrup.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly.
- Glaze with reduced rhubarb juice before serving.
