1In a mixer bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, yeast, cane sugar, pink salt and fresh thyme.
2Mix the dry ingredients with a spoon until everything comes together.
3Install the dough hook and gradually add the sweet potato puree, almond milk and vegan butter while mixing at low speed.
4Increase the speed to high and mix for about 2 minutes.
5Knead the dough; It should be sticky but flexible. If it's too sticky, add more flour, a tablespoon at a time. Place in a large greased bowl.
6Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for up to an hour, or until it doubles in height.
7Prepare a baking tray lined with baking paper.
8Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Sprinkle some flour on the work surface.
9Flatten each part, press the sides, and roll into a ball, making sure the seams are facing down.
10Place the buns on the pan and cover lightly with plastic wrap. Let it rise for another 20-30 minutes in a warm place.
11Heat the oven to 180°C. Remove the plastic and apply olive oil on the surface of the buns.
12Bake in the center of the oven for 18-25 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown.
