For the Pretty Patty Formula
1.

2.
Shape the veggie mix into 2 ounce patties. Transfer the patties to a parchment-lined sheet tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until ready to cook.
3.
Preheat oil in a large cast iron pan. Add the veggies patties and cook for 3-5 minutes per side or until heated through and lightly browned.

For the Pretty Buns
1.
Combine all of the dry ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer and whisk to combine. Add the wet ingredients, save for the food coloring, and begin mixing the dough using the dough hook attachment. Continue mixing the dough until it just comes together into a homogenous mass, about 2-3 minutes.
510 g bread flour
10 g instant yeast
30 g sugar
275 g water + more for brushing
60 g neutral oil
2 tsp kosher salt
stand mixer
2.
Continue kneading until the dough no longer sticks to the sides and is smooth in texture (not ripping immediately), about 4-6 minutes.
3.
Divide the dough into (300 gram) portions. Working with one piece at a time, add the dough to the base of a food processor. Add as much food coloring as desired and process until the dough is thoroughly colored. Repeat with the remaining colors and dough portions.
Food coloring as needed: red, orange, green, blue, yellow, red, purple
4.
Transfer the colored doughs into separate bowls. Cover and let the dough proof for 1-2 hours or until roughly doubled in size.
5.
Divide each dough portion into (100 gram) pieces. Shape the portions into taught buns, see video for tips.
6.
Transfer the buns to two large sheet trays lined with parchment paper. Spray the buns with a light layer non-stick spray and loosely cover with plastic wrap. Allow the buns to proof at room temperature for 1 ½ - 2 ½ hours.
7.
Towards the end of proofing, preheat the oven to 350 °F.
8.
Brush the buns with water, then sprinkle with sesame seeds.

5.
Pour the mixture into a large high-walled skillet.
6.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, while stirring consistently, until it reaches 82°C/180 °F. If the sauce mixture breaks, use a stick immersion blender to recombine.

Optional: pour the mixture into 6 bowls, color each bowl with a different color.
8.
Pour the colored mixtures into the prepared muffin tin. Allow the ‘cheese’ to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least two hours before slicing.
