Soft, fluffy, and irresistibly golden, these Vegan Classic Baked Dinner Rolls are the perfect addition to your table. Made with pantry staples like all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and unsweetened almond milk, these rolls swap traditional ingredients for vegan-friendly alternatives, without sacrificing flavor or texture. A warm almond milk and vegan butter mixture ensures the dough is tender and easy to work with, while a quick rise creates perfectly pillowy results. Brushed with olive oil before baking, these rolls emerge with a beautifully golden crust that pairs effortlessly with holiday meals, weeknight dinners, or even soups and stews. With just 90 minutes of prep time, these rolls are a simple yet impressive homemade treat for gatherings or everyday indulgence. Perfect for vegans and non-vegans alike, these plant-based dinner rolls will steal the spotlight!
In a small saucepan, heat the almond milk, water, and vegan butter until the mixture is warm (about 110°F or 43°C) and the butter is melted. Ensure it does not become too hot to touch.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir until combined.
Pour the warm liquid mixture into the flour mixture and stir until smooth.
Gradually add the remaining flour, about half a cup at a time, mixing well after each addition until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour as needed.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down and turn it onto a clean surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a smooth ball.
Arrange the dough balls in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover the dish with the damp cloth again and let the rolls rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush the tops of the rolls with olive oil for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown on top.
Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
