Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based milk, warmed (about 110°F / 43°C)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 tbsp plant-based butter, melted, plus extra for brushing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Warm the plant-based milk to about 110°F (43°C) to activate the yeast. In a mixing bowl, combine the warm milk with sugar and yeast, stirring gently. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy. Whisk in the eggs and melted plant-based butter. Gradually add the all-purpose flour, salt, and natural gelling agent, stirring continuously until a soft dough forms.
  2. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for about 8 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Kneading properly helps develop the texture and allows the rolls to rise well during baking.
  3. First Rise: Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and leave it in a warm place. Let it rise for 1 to 1.5 hours or until doubled in size. This step creates the airy fluffiness characteristic of the rolls.
  4. Shape the Rolls: After the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release air. Divide the dough into equal pieces and shape each into a smooth ball. Arrange the balls in a greased baking dish with enough space between them for the second rise.
  5. Second Rise and Bake: Cover the shaped rolls again and let them rise for 30 to 45 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 15 to 20 minutes until they are golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the oven and brush the tops with melted plant-based butter while still warm to achieve a shiny, flavorful finish.

Notes

  • Use fresh yeast to ensure a good rise in the dough.
  • Warm the plant-based milk properly to activate yeast, but do not use hot milk as it may kill the yeast.
  • Do not over-knead; knead until the dough is elastic but still soft to keep the rolls fluffy.
  • Measure the natural gelling agent precisely to achieve bakery-style softness and texture.
  • For extra softness and shine, brush plant-based butter on the rolls before and after baking.
