Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, warm
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 2 tbsp natural honey agave nectar
  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter, softened
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent

For the Garlic Butter Topping

  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 tsp natural garlic flavor
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Begin by activating your yeast in warm almond milk mixed with 1 tablespoon of natural honey agave nectar. Let it sit until the yeast foams, about 5 to 10 minutes. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and natural gelling agent. Add the yeast mixture and softened plant-based butter, then knead until you achieve a smooth, elastic dough.
  2. First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rest in a warm spot for about one hour or until it doubles in size. This step ensures the rolls will have a light and airy texture.
  3. Shape the Rolls: Gently punch down the dough to release air. Divide the dough into equal portions, roll each piece into a smooth ball, and arrange them closely in a greased baking dish to encourage soft sides.
  4. Second Rise: Cover the shaped rolls with a towel and let them rise again for about 30 to 45 minutes, until puffy and nearly doubled in size, preparing them for baking.
  5. Prepare Garlic Butter Topping: Mix the softened plant-based butter with natural garlic flavor and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the rolls before baking.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 18 to 22 minutes or until golden brown and fragrant.
  7. Final Touch: Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush on a little more garlic butter mixture for extra flavor and shine. Let the rolls cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use warm almond milk (not hot) to activate yeast without killing it.
  • Do not over-knead the dough; knead until elastic for soft rolls.
  • Use softened plant-based butter for even mixing and maximum flavor.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free environment for best results.
  • Brush garlic butter before and after baking to enhance flavor and moisture.
