In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, active dry yeast, sugar, and salt.
Add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir well until the mixture is smooth.
Gradually add the remaining flour, a half cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, 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) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air, and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
Flatten each piece of dough into a small circle, place about 2 tablespoons of vegan shredded cheese in the center, and then form each dough circle into a ball, ensuring the cheese is sealed inside.
Place the filled dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, and dried Italian herbs.
Brush the tops of each roll with the olive oil and herb mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving warm.
