Ingredients
Scale
Yeast Mixture
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (natural)
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup ube puree
- 1/2 cup plant-based milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose gluten-free flour blend
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Yeast Mixture: Combine warm water, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast in a bowl. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy to activate the yeast.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, blend the ube puree, plant-based milk, vegetable oil, and natural vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, salt, and natural gelling agent in a large mixing bowl to ensure even distribution.
- Form the Dough: Gradually add the yeast mixture and wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir continuously until a sticky dough forms. Turn it onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky.
- First Rise: Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours or until it doubles in size.
- Shape the Rolls: Punch down the dough to release air. Divide into 12 equal portions, shape each into a round ball, and arrange on a parchment-lined baking tray with space for expansion.
- Second Rise: Cover loosely and let the rolls proof for 30 to 45 minutes to achieve a soft, pillowy texture.
- Bake to Perfection: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 18-20 minutes until golden and springy. Remove and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to help activate yeast evenly.
- Allow sufficient rising time for fluffy, light rolls.
- Knead dough well for optimal softness and chewiness.
- Keep dough covered during rising to prevent drying out.
- Check oven temperature with a thermometer to avoid burning.
