Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm unsweetened almond milk (or other non-dairy milk)
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 0.25 cup Coconut sugar (or granulated sugar)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour (or bread flour)
- 1 spray Non-dairy cooking spray (optional, for greasing)
Instructions
In a small bowl, warm the almond milk until it is lukewarm (around 100-110°F). Be careful not to overheat it.
Add the active dry yeast and 1 teaspoon of the coconut sugar to the warm almond milk. Stir gently to combine, and let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy and bubbles appear. This indicates the yeast is activated.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining coconut sugar, salt, vegetable oil, and unsweetened applesauce.
Add the activated yeast mixture to the bowl and stir until well combined.
Gradually add the flour to the wet ingredients, one cup at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Once the dough starts to come together, knead it by hand or with a stand mixer (fitted with a dough hook) for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is soft and smooth. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle in a little more flour—1 tablespoon at a time—until it becomes manageable.
Lightly grease a clean bowl with non-dairy cooking spray or a small amount of vegetable oil. Place the dough in the bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release any air. Transfer it to a clean, lightly floured surface and roll the dough out into a rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick.
Cut the dough into 12 equal rectangular pieces. Shape each rectangle into a small, smooth roll if desired.
Place the rolls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each piece. Cover loosely with a kitchen towel and let them rise again for about 30-45 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
Remove the bread from the oven, and if desired, lightly brush the tops with a small amount of melted non-dairy butter for extra flavor and shine. Let the bread cool slightly before serving.
