Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (one packet)
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk, gently warmed
  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter, melted (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-7 minutes until frothy and bubbly, indicating the yeast is active and ready.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, salt, and the natural gelling agent evenly to ensure consistent texture throughout the bread.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Gently warm the plant-based milk and melt the plant-based butter (natural). Add these along with the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
  4. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. This develops gluten, producing a chewy yet soft crumb.
  5. First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  6. Shape the Rolls: Punch down the dough gently, divide into equal portions, and shape each into smooth, round balls. Arrange them on a parchment-lined baking tray, leaving space for expansion.
  7. Second Rise: Cover the shaped rolls loosely and let rise again for 30-45 minutes until noticeably puffed.
  8. Bake to Perfection: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush roll tops with melted plant-based butter (natural). Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown on top.
  9. Cool and Enjoy: Remove from the oven and let rolls cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm, showcasing their soft texture and buttery flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh yeast for the best rise and texture.
  • Do not over-knead; stop when the dough feels springy and elastic.
  • Keep dough warm (75-80°F) during rise for optimal puff.
  • Brush rolls with plant-based butter (natural) both before and immediately after baking to lock in moisture and shine.
  • Cover dough in a warm, draft-free spot for consistent rising.
