Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast (1 packet)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (natural)
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted plant-based butter
- 1/4 cup plant-based milk
Instructions
- Mixing the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar (natural), and salt. Add warm water, vegetable oil or melted plant-based butter, and plant-based milk. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until all ingredients come together into a sticky, shaggy dough.
- First Rise: Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let the dough rise at room temperature for 8 to 12 hours until doubled in size, allowing slow fermentation to develop flavor without kneading.
- Forming the Rolls: Generously flour your work surface and gently scoop out the dough. Divide into equal portions using a bench scraper or knife. Shape each piece into a smooth ball by folding the edges underneath and tucking them at the bottom.
- Second Rise: Place the shaped rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced slightly apart. Cover and let rise for 1 to 2 hours until puffy and nearly doubled in size.
- Baking: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Optionally brush tops with melted plant-based butter or plant-based milk for a shiny crust. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped.
Notes
- Use warm water to activate yeast without killing it.
- Do not add excess flour when shaping; stickiness is essential for soft rolls.
- Cover dough tightly during rising to prevent drying and crust formation.
- Tap the bottom of a roll to test doneness; a hollow sound means it is baked perfectly.
- Use a thin layer of natural gelling agent-based plant-based glaze for a shiny or sticky topping if desired.
