Ingredients

Scale

Main Dough Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter, softened
  • 1 cup plant-based milk, warmed to 110°F (43°C)
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)

Optional Ingredients and Add-ins

  • Vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), for accompanying spreads or fillings
  • Sesame seeds or poppy seeds, for sprinkling on top
  • Fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme, finely chopped (for herbed variation)
  • Cinnamon and extra granulated sugar (natural), for sweet cinnamon rolls variation
  • Plant-based cheese slices, for mini cheeseburger buns
  • Natural gelling agent, if using gluten-free flour mix

Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast: Warm the plant-based milk to about 110°F (43°C) and whisk in the active dry yeast with a pinch of granulated sugar (natural). Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until frothy and bubbly.
  2. Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar (natural), and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs, softened plant-based butter, and the activated yeast mixture. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for the same duration.
  4. First Rise: Place the kneaded dough into a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 to 2 hours, until doubled in size.
  5. Shape the Rolls: Punch down the risen dough to release air, divide into equal portions, and shape each into a smooth ball. Place them spaced apart on a parchment-lined baking tray.
  6. Second Rise: Cover the shaped rolls and let them rise for 45 to 60 minutes until puffed up and airy.
  7. Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush tops gently with a beaten egg wash. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Remove and cool on a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for smooth dough and even yeast activation.
  • Do not skip kneading; proper gluten development is essential for soft, airy rolls.
  • Monitor rising times closely to avoid over-proofing, which can cause collapse.
  • Brushing with egg wash creates a glossy, golden crust.
  • Allow rolls to cool completely to prevent sogginess and to enhance texture.
