Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water (around 110°F/43°C)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Garlic Butter Topping

  • 4 tablespoons butter (plant-based)
  • 4 fresh garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Optional Garnishes

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Herbs like rosemary or thyme (optional, for variation)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Yeast Dough: Dissolve the active dry yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for 5 to 7 minutes until frothy and bubbly to activate the yeast.
  2. Mix and Knead the Dough: In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and vegetable oil, stirring to form a soft dough. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. First Rise: Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  4. Shape the Rolls: Punch down the risen dough to release air bubbles, then divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball and place them close together in a greased baking dish.
  5. Second Rise: Cover the formed rolls and let rise again for 30 to 40 minutes until puffy.
  6. Prepare Garlic Butter: Melt the plant-based butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in minced garlic and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), allowing flavors to meld without browning.
  7. Bake and Brush: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 18 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and immediately brush the tops generously with the warm garlic butter mixture.

Notes

  • Use fresh yeast if available for a fluffier rise and enhanced flavor.
  • Do not skip rising times to ensure soft, fluffy rolls.
  • Brush garlic butter immediately after baking to lock in moisture and aroma.
  • Tent with foil while baking if tops brown too quickly to prevent burning.
  • Slightly warm oils and butter to help activate yeast and meld flavors perfectly.
