Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp instant yeast
- 2 tbsp natural sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water (about 110°F / 43°C)
- 1/2 cup plant-based milk (natural)
- 1/4 cup melted plant-based butter (natural), plus more for brushing
- 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare the Yeast Mixture: Combine warm water, natural sugar, and instant yeast in a bowl. Let it sit for 5-7 minutes until frothy and active.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and salt to evenly distribute flavors and prepare for dough formation.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the frothy yeast mixture, plant-based milk (natural), melted plant-based butter (natural), and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) to the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon or dough hook until the dough begins to come together.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
- Shape the Rolls: Punch down the dough gently, divide into 12 equal pieces, shape each into smooth balls, and place on a greased baking pan spaced evenly.
- Second Rise: Cover shaped rolls and let rise for 30-40 minutes until puffed up.
- Bake Them to Perfection: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake rolls for 15-18 minutes until golden brown. Immediately brush with melted plant-based butter (natural) after baking for a soft, shiny finish.
Notes
- Use warm water (not hot) to activate yeast without killing it.
- Knead dough well to develop elasticity and softness.
- Allow dough to rise fully for airy, fluffy rolls.
- Cover dough with a damp cloth or plastic wrap to maintain moisture during rising.
- Brush rolls with melted plant-based butter (natural) while warm to lock in moisture and flavor.
