Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1/4 cup natural sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm water (about 110°F)
  • 1/2 cup warm plant-based milk (about 110°F)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter, melted (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Yeast Mixture: Combine warm water and warm plant-based milk in a bowl. Stir in active dry yeast and a pinch of natural sugar. Let rest for 5-10 minutes until foamy and bubbly indicating the yeast is activated.
  2. Mixing the Dough: In a large bowl, mix flour, remaining natural sugar, salt, and natural gelling agent. Pour in the yeast mixture and vegetable oil. Stir with a wooden spoon or use a stand mixer with dough hook until the dough forms a soft, slightly sticky ball.
  3. Kneading: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic, developing the gluten for a tender crumb.
  4. First Rise: Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean cloth or plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Shaping the Rolls: Punch down the risen dough gently to release air. Divide into equal portions, shape each into smooth balls, and arrange in a greased baking dish with space between each ball for expansion.
  6. Second Rise: Cover and let shaped rolls rise again in a warm place for 30-45 minutes or until puffy and nearly doubled.
  7. Baking: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake rolls on the center rack for 15-18 minutes until golden brown on top. Remove immediately and brush with melted plant-based butter for shine and rich aroma.

Notes

  • Use warm (not hot) liquids to properly activate yeast.
  • Do not add too much flour; dough should remain slightly sticky for soft rolls.
  • Allow sufficient time for both rises to develop flavor and texture.
  • Brush melted plant-based butter on rolls right after baking for a tender, glossy finish.
  • Store rolls in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them fresh and soft.
