Finally! 🥰🥰 You’re here in youtube! I followed all your recipes on your blog and ig! Sometimes i prefer videos so very excited to be see this! Thanks for sharing!

[@TheFoodieTakesFlight]

Hello!!! Yes finally decided to make videos cause it's easier to show how to make recipes this way too :) hope you're doing well and thank you too!

[@glendawalsh4440]

Thanks a lot! I'm a visual learner, I love watching how a recipe is made and at the same time cooking it. When I was a new follower of yours on Instagram, I immediately search you on KZbin but didn't find you. Now, I can see you cook. Thanks again. A big fan of yours here in Michigan. 🇵🇭🇺🇸🌱🌎

[@TheFoodieTakesFlight]

Hello Glenda!! Yeah eventually decided to start sharing videos since some recipes are easier to follow and visualise with a video! Thank you too and happy Easter! ❤️

Thankyou for making this video. I came across your recipes on Instragram and this looked so cool so I wanted to give it a try. It is really helpful that you showed us how to fold these.

Am not a vegan, early for 4 years before was, but understanding that this is not for our people and clima, but thats recipe is gorgous, because love bakery and onion so much! Thanks a lot!

[@esthephanyjasme5496]

[@paisley1956]

Wow. Can’t wait to make these. Thanks

[@billybilliboink]

Thank you for sharing this! I have just become a vegan (4 months now) and I heavily rely on deliveries. This is perfect!

[@TheFoodieTakesFlight]

No problem at all! Hope these inspire you to make some buns! :)

Thanks so much! :)

[@thehungrydragonfly]

These are si delicious!! Great video

[@TheFoodieTakesFlight]

Thank you mariela! ❤️

[@TheGenkina]

So making those buns week! Do you have any recommendations for another filling? I do you think I can put virtually anything inside! Loved the recipe, thank you so much

[@TheFoodieTakesFlight]

Hi! They way these are twisted together can’t hold much filling (or else they’ll spill out), so if you’d like to put a lot of filling (let’s say a mix of sautéed veggies and tofu) you can opt to roll out the dough into round wrappers and pleat them like you’d make regular buns. Hope this helps and please let me know how they go! :)

[@giselsilva]

Chimichurri sauce would be great

[@Rizlah09]

Can’t wait to attempt these. Can I use cows milk or does it have to be a milk alternative?

[@TheFoodieTakesFlight]

Dairy milk should be no problem! :)

[@Rizlah09]

@@TheFoodieTakesFlight brilliant! Thanks so much for replying x

[@nabila792]

Thank u for this great recipe . And can I use more water instead of the milk?

[@saswathydpai2931]

Looks so so good. Can you give a substitute for scallions ? I don't eat onion and garlic 😅

[@TheFoodieTakesFlight]

Hi! Some people have tried it with finely chopped spinach that they cooked down first before seasoning :) haven't tried it myself but it should stick well to the dough and be wrapped easily too :)

[@zaahidahjacobs7389]

Hi, I love your recipes I'd like to know if this could be baked in the oven as well ?

[@TheFoodieTakesFlight]

Hi! I personally haven't tried it but have had a few people share with me that they baked theirs and turned out well. Of course they'll have a crispy crust on the outside and will turn out more like bread. :) hope this helps

[@ruchi4965]

These look delicious! I’m curious about the sugar, are these sweet or do they still taste savory?

[@TheFoodieTakesFlight]

Hi! These buns are savory but with a slight sweet note! :)

[@czarinajeananonuevo9075]

saraap!!!

[@TheFoodieTakesFlight]

Thanks Cza!!

[@suhyoung]

Also could you please explain why hot oil? Just curious :)

[@TheFoodieTakesFlight]

It helps cook down the scallions a bit, so they're not completely raw when you're putting them in the buns. Also so that the salt and other spices dissolve, and are better absorbed by the scallions :)

[@GeeeStatus]

Do you freeze them raw or cooked?

[@TheFoodieTakesFlight]

I freeze them cooked :)

[@adrienns1355]

Can you bake these in the oven instead of pan frying/steaming them?

[@TheFoodieTakesFlight]

Hi! I haven't personally tried it but a few people let me know that they did bake these and turned out great! They baked them in 325F for around 30 minutes. Please let me know if you try it out!

[@adrienns1355]

@@TheFoodieTakesFlight oh brilliant, many thanks for the response! I will give it a try and let you know.

[@kaymizzai]

can i proof the dough overnight and shape them the next day?

[@TheFoodieTakesFlight]

Hi! I haven't tried leaving the dough to proof overnight for this recipe. If you do, best would be to let it proof in the refrigerator overnight then take it out the next day and leave it to sit for around 2 hours until it's in room temp before shaping the buns and cooking them. Please let me know how this works for you!

[@kaymizzai]

@@TheFoodieTakesFlight thanks! if i make the dough on the same day, would it effect the dough if i proofed longer than 2 hours?

[@TheFoodieTakesFlight]

@@kaymizzai It would continue to rise, especially if you live in a place with a warm climate right now. But shouldn't be much of a problem (might actually be better and fluffier!) as long as you cook it within the day! :)

[@giselsilva]

Is it ok to use bread flour in this recipe? It's the only flour I have right now during quarantine. Also, is it ok to bake them in the oven or do they turn too dry?

[@TheFoodieTakesFlight]

Hi! I personally haven't tried bread flour for this recipe. But it's usually a 1:1 substitute. It may just turn out a bit tougher and less fluffy if with bread flour because bread flour has more protein. Some have baked this recipe and it has a lightly browned crust, which turned good too, just a bit more dry. But if you're using bread flour then it might work better if you bake them so you have a crisp crust. Please let me know if you try them out :)

[@romadcruz7475]

Can these be made using gluten free flour?

[@TheFoodieTakesFlight]

Hi! I haven't tried it myself but I wouldn't recommend substituting with a 1:1 ratio. Would be best to check depending on the type of flour used!

[@rakefettal]

anyone know if it’s 3 cups flour or 375 g total? in the video it looks like 1 cup ..

[@TheFoodieTakesFlight]

Hi! It's 3 cups. :) The full recipe is also here: thefoodietakesflight.com/pan-fried-scallion-and-toasted-sesame-buns-vegan-recipe/

[@suhyoung]

Could you please start adding the measurements, times, and temperatures when you post the text for the ingredients? Thank you! Great video!!!!!

[@TheFoodieTakesFlight]

Will do! I added a link to the recipe in the description box, but I'll add a list of ingredients too if that makes it easier! :)

[@suhyoung]

Oh I meant to the video text so that when I pause while I follow that step I don't have to scroll down to see the measurement 😂 but I didn't realize it's in the description box. Thank you!

[@TheFoodieTakesFlight]

@@suhyoung Ooh okay I totally misunderstood that too! Haha yes I can add measurements on the video too next time! :)

[@swethay5785]

Can you post measurements also for recipe

[@TheFoodieTakesFlight]

Hi! I shared the measurements on the description of this video! :) will start adding exact measurements in the video itself for my upcoming videos though! :)

[@rosiehorgan8421]

My dough is SO SO STICKY??

[@TheFoodieTakesFlight]

Oh no is it the type of sticky that's difficult to knead? it might be too wet at the start so you'll have to keep kneading until it starts to come together. If it's still to sticky you can add in a bit of flour. Hope this helps!!
