Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (one packet)
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter, softened
- 3/4 cup plant-based milk, warmed to 110°F (43°C)
- 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tsp natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Activate the Yeast: Warm the plant-based milk to about 110°F (43°C). Stir in the granulated sugar and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until frothy to ensure the yeast is active.
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and natural gelling agent. Add the eggs, softened plant-based butter, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and the yeast mixture. Mix until the dough begins to form, then knead for about 10 minutes by hand or with a stand mixer until smooth and elastic.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover it with a clean cloth. Let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.
- Shape the Rolls: After rising, gently punch down the dough and divide into evenly sized portions. Shape each into a smooth ball and place spaced apart on a parchment-lined baking tray.
- Second Rise: Cover the shaped rolls and allow them to rise again until almost doubled, about 30 to 45 minutes, ensuring a soft and airy crumb.
- Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush the tops with plant-based milk or an egg wash substitute for a shiny finish. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the rolls are risen and golden brown.
Notes
- Use eggs and plant-based butter at room temperature for best mixing.
- Allow the dough to fully rise to develop flavor and texture.
- Knead well to build gluten structure for the perfect chew.
- Bake rolls on the middle rack for even heat distribution.
- Check internal temperature of rolls; they should reach about 190°F (88°C) when done.
