Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups bread flour
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1/4 cup unsalted plant-based butter, softened
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup warm plant-based milk
  • 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent

Garlic Butter Glaze

  • 1/2 cup unsalted plant-based butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, fresh minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Dissolve active dry yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit until bubbly, indicating the yeast is activated. In a large bowl, combine bread flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, softened plant-based butter, warm plant-based milk, and natural gelling agent. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  2. Knead Until Smooth: Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 to 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. This helps develop gluten for soft, chewy texture.
  3. Let the Dough Rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot until it doubles in size, approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.
  4. Shape the Rolls: Punch down the dough gently to release air. Divide into equal portions and shape each into a smooth ball. Arrange them in a greased baking dish, leaving space for expansion.
  5. Second Rise: Cover the rolls and let rise again for 30 to 40 minutes until puffy.
  6. Prepare Garlic Butter and Bake: Melt unsalted plant-based butter in a saucepan, stir in minced garlic, chopped parsley, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Brush this garlic butter generously over the rolls. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Final Touch: Brush rolls again with warm garlic butter right out of the oven to lock in moisture and intensify flavor. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use warm liquids but not hot to properly activate yeast.
  • Knead well to develop gluten for tender crumb.
  • Do not skip the second rise to ensure fluffier rolls.
  • Brush garlic butter while rolls are warm to maximize flavor absorption.
  • Use freshly minced garlic for the best authentic flavor.
  • Avoid overbaking; remove when golden for soft interiors.
