Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
- 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 0.5 cup sugar
- 0.25 cup vegan butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Warm the coconut milk and pineapple juice in a small saucepan over low heat until they are just slightly warm, about 110°F (43°C). Be careful not to overheat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm pineapple juice and coconut milk mixture with the yeast and 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Stir well and let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy, which indicates the yeast is active.
Add the remaining sugar, vegan butter, salt, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar to the yeast mixture. Stir until the butter is melted.
Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon until you achieve a soft dough that pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead by hand for about 8 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball.
Arrange the balls of dough in a greased 9x13-inch baking pan, leaving some space between each one.
Cover the baking pan with a damp cloth and let the dough balls rise again for about 30-45 minutes, until they have puffed up.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Once the rolls have doubled in size, bake them in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm with additional vegan butter if desired. Enjoy these fluffy and flavorful vegan Hawaiian rolls!
