Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or other dairy-free milk)
- 6 tablespoons Vegan butter or dairy-free margarine
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 0.25 cup Warm water (around 110°F)
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Neutral oil (e.g., vegetable or avocado oil)
Instructions
Warm the almond milk in a small saucepan or microwave until lukewarm, around 100–110°F. Be careful not to overheat it.
Add 3 tablespoons of vegan butter to the warm almond milk and stir until melted. Set the mixture aside to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar and yeast in the warm water. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy. This indicates the yeast is activated.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, the almond milk mixture, and 2 cups of flour. Stir with a wooden spoon until well combined.
Add the salt and another 2 cups of flour gradually, mixing until a sticky dough starts to form.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes until it becomes soft and elastic. Alternatively, you can use the dough hook attachment on a stand mixer. If necessary, add a little more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent sticking.
Grease a large bowl with the neutral oil, place the dough ball inside, and cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles. Transfer it to a floured surface and roll it out to approximately 1/2-inch thickness.
Cut the dough into 2x2-inch squares or rectangles using a knife or dough cutter.
Place the rolls onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart. Cover them again and let them rise for 20–30 minutes until puffy.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake the rolls for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown on the top.
While the rolls bake, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of vegan butter. Brush the tops of the warm rolls with the melted butter immediately after removing them from the oven to give them a soft, glossy finish.
Serve warm and enjoy! These rolls are perfect on their own or paired with your favorite dairy-free whipped butter.
