Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup plant-based milk, warmed (about 100°F / 38°C)
- 1/4 cup plant-based butter, melted
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 2 tbsp natural sweetener (sugar or maple syrup)
- 1 tsp natural gelling agent
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 flax eggs (2 tbsp ground flaxseed + 6 tbsp water) or 1/4 cup aquafaba as egg substitute
Instructions
- Activate the yeast: Warm the plant-based milk to around 100°F (38°C). Sprinkle the active dry yeast and a pinch of natural sweetener on top. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes until frothy and bubbly.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the melted plant-based butter, the egg substitute (flax eggs or aquafaba), and the yeast mixture. Whisk until fully blended and smooth.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, natural gelling agent, and salt to ensure even distribution.
- Form the dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until a sticky dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- First rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours, until it doubles in size.
- Shape the rolls: Punch down the dough gently and divide into equal portions. Shape each into a smooth ball and arrange on a greased baking tray with space between them.
- Second rise: Cover the shaped rolls with a cloth and let rise for 30-45 minutes until puffed up.
- Bake to perfection: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush tops with melted plant-based butter. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for better dough consistency and rise.
- Kneading well develops gluten for a soft yet chewy texture.
- Allow enough rising time for airy, fluffy rolls.
- Brush rolls with plant-based butter before baking for a golden, shiny top.
- Store leftover rolls in an airtight container to maintain moisture and softness.
