Description
Delicious and fluffy dinner rolls that are entirely plant-based, perfect for family meals, potlucks, and cozy gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups warm water (about 105–115°F / 40–46°C)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil or vegan butter, melted (about 56 g)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (about 50 g)
- 2 teaspoons salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 5–6 cups all-purpose flour (start with 5 cups / ~600 g; add more as needed while kneading)
- 2 tablespoons garlic, minced (optional: roasted garlic for a milder flavor)
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (such as rosemary or thyme), chopped (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm water, melted coconut oil (or vegan butter), sugar, and salt. Stir in the yeast and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- Gradually add 4 cups of flour and mix until a dough forms. Knead in additional flour, one cup at a time, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Punch down the dough and shape it into rolls. Place them on a greased baking sheet or in a parchment-lined baking pan, spaced slightly apart for soft sides.
- In a small bowl, mix melted vegan butter with garlic and herbs; brush the mixture on top of the rolls.
- Cover and let rise again for 30 minutes.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown. Enjoy warm!
