Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 3 tablespoons Sugar
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 4 tablespoons Vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the almond milk and vegan butter until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm to the touch but not hot (about 110°F). Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, the sugar, salt, and yeast. Mix well.
Add the warm almond milk and butter mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon until well combined.
Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a large, lightly oiled bowl. Turn the dough once to ensure it is coated with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
Let the dough rise in a warm environment for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles and transfer it to a lightly floured surface.
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a roll. Place the rolls evenly spaced apart on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise again for about 30 minutes, until they have nearly doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush the tops of the rolls with a little olive oil to give them a nice golden brown finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
