Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 2 tablespoons natural sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons natural gelling agent
- 1 1/4 cups warm water
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (natural)
- 1/2 cup plant-based milk
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, active dry yeast, natural sugar, salt, and natural gelling agent. Pour in the warm water, olive oil (natural), and plant-based milk. Stir gently until all ingredients are just combined into a sticky, shaggy dough.
- First Rise: Cover the bowl loosely with a damp cloth and let the dough rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, usually about 1 to 2 hours. This slow rise builds flavor and creates the tender crumb expected in no-knead bread.
- Shape the Rolls: Lightly flour your hands and gently scoop portions of dough, rolling each into smooth balls. Place the rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly to allow for expansion during baking.
- Second Rise: Cover the shaped rolls and let them rise again for 30 to 45 minutes until soft and puffy, ready for baking.
- Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown on top. Once done, brush them with olive oil (natural) while warm for extra shine and softness.
Notes
- Use warm, not hot water to activate yeast without killing it.
- Be gentle when shaping dough to keep rolls airy and tender.
- Cover dough during rising to prevent drying out and crust formation.
- Allow full rising time to achieve softer rolls with better texture.
- Brush rolls with olive oil (natural) while warm to add moisture and softness.
