Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast (1 packet)
  • 2 tbsp natural sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water (105°F to 115°F)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Topping (Optional)

  • 2 tbsp melted plant-based butter for brushing

Instructions

  1. Mix Your Ingredients: Combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add warm water and olive oil, then stir until a sticky, shaggy dough forms. No kneading is needed.
  2. Let the Dough Rise: Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and place it in a warm spot for 1 to 2 hours, or until the dough doubles in size and becomes bubbly.
  3. Shape the Rolls: Turn the dough gently onto a floured surface. Divide it into equal portions and shape each into a smooth ball by folding the edges underneath. Arrange the rolls side-by-side in a greased baking dish.
  4. Second Rise: Cover the shaped rolls and let them rise for 30 minutes to 1 hour until puffed up.
  5. Bake to Golden Perfection: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops with melted plant-based butter, then bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden and hollow-sounding when tapped.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Cool the rolls slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature for optimal softness and flavor.

Notes

  • Use water between 105°F and 115°F to activate yeast without killing it.
  • Allow plenty of rising time for a fluffy texture; rushing leads to dense rolls.
  • Keep the dough sticky to ensure softness, adding flour sparingly when shaping.
  • Brush with melted plant-based butter for a tender, golden crust.
  • Cover dough adequately during rising to prevent drying out.
