Cuisine: Vegan, Vegetarian
Servings: 12 rolls

Ingredients

  • 200 ml soy milk (or any non-dairy milk)
  • 1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 2 tbsp cane sugar
  • 2 tbsp soy cream (or any non-dairy cream)
  • 300 grams bread flour (strong flour)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 30 grams vegan butter softened
  • coconut oil melted, for brushing

Instructions

  • Add the yeast, soy milk, and cane sugar to a bowl and stir. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
    If the mixture doesn't look frothy after 5 minutes, the yeast is most likely dead and should be discarded.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients (except for coconut oil) to the bowl and mix to form a shaggy dough.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface, and knead for 10 minutes. The dough will be wet and sticky in the beginning, but after a few minutes of kneading, it should become more elastic and smooth.
    If using a stand mixer and dough hook, knead on medium-low for 5 minutes.
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it. Keep in a warm place and let the dough rise for 60 minutes, until it's double in size.

  • Punch the dough to deflate, and divide it into 12 pieces.
    Shape each piece into a ball. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  • Cover and let it rise for 45 minutes in a warm place.

  • Preheat the oven to 350F/180C. Gently brush the tops of the rolls with melted coconut oil, or vegan butter, and bake for 20~23 minutes until golden brown.
  • Let the rolls cool for 10 minutes before transferring them out of the dish.
    Serve while warm. Enjoy!
