Whether you’re vegan, lactose intolerant, or simply curious to try something deliciously different, these dairy-free bread rolls are sure to become a household favorite.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
Add the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, and chopped chives. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients throughout the dough.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough back into a clean, lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the risen dough to release any air bubbles, then divide it into 12 equal portions.
Shape each portion into a ball and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly apart.
Cover the rolls with a cloth and let them rise again for about 15 minutes.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
