Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (natural)
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup warm plant-based milk (about 110°F / 43°C)
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter, softened
Glaze
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp plant-based milk
- 1/4 tsp natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Yeast Mixture: Warm plant-based milk to about 110°F (43°C). Stir in the granulated sugar (natural) and active dry yeast. Let the mixture sit for 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes foamy, indicating the yeast is activated.
- Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Lightly whisk the eggs, then add them to the yeast mixture. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the flour while mixing to form a sticky dough. Add softened plant-based butter in small pieces and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes by hand or less using a stand mixer.
- First Rise: Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 2 hours until doubled in size.
- Shape the Rolls: Gently punch down the dough to release excess air. Divide into equal portions depending on desired size. Shape each portion into a smooth ball by pulling dough underneath to create surface tension. Place rolls on a lined baking sheet with space for expansion.
- Second Rise and Glazing: Cover shaped rolls loosely and let rise for 45 to 60 minutes until puffy. Prepare glaze by whisking an egg with plant-based milk and a small pinch of natural gelling agent. Brush glaze over roll tops for a golden finish during baking.
- Bake to Perfection: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 15 to 20 minutes until deep golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped on the bottom. Cool on a wire rack before slicing to serve.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing and better rise.
- Do not rush the rising process to achieve maximum fluffiness.
- Brush rolls generously with glaze for a shiny and appealing crust.
- Keep liquids warm but not hot to avoid killing yeast.
- Chill dough briefly after the first rise if shaping is difficult.
