Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup plant-based milk, warmed
  • 6 tbsp plant-based butter, softened
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent

Optional Variations and Toppings

  • Fresh rosemary, thyme or chives (herb-infused rolls)
  • Plant-based butter mixed with minced garlic and parsley (garlic butter topping)
  • Sesame, poppy, or flax seeds (seeded rolls)
  • Plant-based honey alternative for glaze (sweet honey glaze)
  • Whole wheat flour (to substitute half of the all-purpose flour)

Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast: Warm the plant-based milk until comfortably warm but not hot. Stir in sugar and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy to proof the yeast.
  2. Prepare the Dough Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and natural gelling agent. Add the yeast mixture, softened plant-based butter, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Stir until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic, developing a soft, fluffy texture.
  4. First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  5. Shape the Rolls: Punch down the dough and divide into 12 to 15 equal portions. Shape each into a smooth ball and arrange on a greased baking pan spaced apart for the final rise.
  6. Second Rise: Cover the rolls and let rise until puffed and nearly doubled, about 30-45 minutes.
  7. Bake and Butter: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Immediately brush with melted plant-based butter once out of the oven for a rich finish.

Notes

  • Keep milk and the environment warm to help the yeast proof effectively.
  • Use just enough flour while kneading to avoid dense rolls.
  • Knead gently until elastic to maintain a soft crumb texture.
  • Cover dough well to prevent drying during rising.
  • Brush with plant-based butter right after baking to maximize moistness and flavor.
