Description
Super soft and fluffy vegan dinner rolls made with simple pantry ingredients. Lightly golden on the outside and pillowy on the inside, these dairy-free rolls are perfect for weeknight dinners, holidays, or warm fresh from the oven with a spread of vegan butter.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all purpose flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups warm plant based milk (about 105°F)
- 1/4 cup vegan butter, melted
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Instructions
- Lightly grease a 9 by 13 inch baking dish and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm plant based milk, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy.
- Stir in melted vegan butter and salt.
- Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough gently and divide into 12 equal portions. Shape each into a smooth ball.
- Arrange the dough balls evenly in the prepared baking dish. Cover and let rise again for 30 to 40 minutes until puffy.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until tops are lightly golden.
- Brush warm rolls with a little melted vegan butter if desired and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Ensure plant based milk is warm but not hot to properly activate the yeast.
- A slightly tacky dough will produce softer rolls, avoid adding too much flour.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Freeze baked rolls for up to 2 months and reheat in the oven to refresh.
