These little vegan sausage buns remind me of the Hong Kong style sausage or hot dog buns I used to eat as a kid. However, these pillowy soft rolls are way easier to make with only five ingredients and healthier too!

Last weekend, while my boyfriend and I were watching football, I suddenly had a craving for these. I think it’s because a commercial mentioned hotdogs. I have a problem with being easily influenced by mentions of food! The nice thing is that I can often make whatever I’m craving. Or is this a bad thing? Maybe a bit of both!

These little snack-worthy morsels of juicy goodness start with a couple of cut up vegan sausages and basic bread dough. I used Field Roast Italian Sausages as they are what happened to be in my fridge at the time. The Field Roast kind are pretty ideal for this as they are a bit on the oily side. The excess oil adds some flavour to the bread and will leak out some during baking so it helps form a tasty, crispy bottom.

If you like though, you can always use homemade seitan or other sort of vegan protein-rich filling. Try this Simple Savory Seitan or Chinese Five Spice Seitan for an different twist.

This recipe makes eight small buns, but you can easily make them into four to six larger buns. If you make larger buns, you may need to bake them for a couple minutes longer.
