Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 ¼ cups warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
  • 2 tbsp sugar (natural)
  • 1 ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup plant-based milk
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: Combine the warm water, sugar (natural), and active dry yeast in a large mixing bowl. Stir gently and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until frothy, indicating the yeast is active.
  2. Mix the dough: Add the all-purpose flour, salt, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), vegetable oil, plant-based milk, and natural gelling agent to the yeast mixture. Stir gently until just combined and a sticky dough forms.
  3. First rise: Cover the bowl with a clean towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rest in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size and visibly puffed.
  4. Shape the rolls: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide it gently into equal-sized balls and place them close together in a greased baking pan to allow for soft sides.
  5. Second rise: Cover and let the rolls rise for an additional 30 to 45 minutes until puffy and nearly touching.
  6. Bake to perfection: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 18 to 22 minutes until golden brown on top. Optionally, brush with plant-based butter for extra softness and shine.

Notes

  • Use warm, not hot, liquids to activate yeast properly.
  • Allow the dough to rise fully for best flavor and texture.
  • Keep dough slightly sticky to ensure fluffy rolls.
  • Brushing rolls with plant-based butter after baking keeps crust tender.
  • Pack rolls tightly in the pan to help sides stay soft and pull apart easily.
