Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk (plant-based), warmed to 110°F
  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter (natural), melted plus extra for brushing
  • 2 large eggs

Optional Variations

  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped rosemary or thyme for herb-infused rolls
  • 1 tablespoon natural honey for sweet honey rolls
  • Replace 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a whole wheat version
  • Flaxseed egg replacement and plant-based milk for vegan-friendly option
  • Garlic (minced) for garlic butter glaze

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: Warm the plant-based milk to about 110°F. Stir in the granulated sugar until dissolved. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the milk and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy and bubbly, indicating the yeast is active.
  2. Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the frothy yeast mixture, beaten eggs, and melted plant-based butter (natural). Stir with a wooden spoon or dough hook until the dough begins to form. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky.
  3. First rise: Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover loosely with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size, allowing airy texture and light crumb development.
  4. Shape and second rise: Gently punch down the dough to release air. Divide into equal pieces and roll each into smooth balls. Place rolls on a greased baking pan with slight spacing. Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes to puff up.
  5. Bake to perfection: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake rolls for 15-18 minutes until golden brown on top. While warm, brush rolls generously with melted plant-based butter (natural) for shine and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure milk and butter are warm but not hot to properly activate yeast without killing it.
  • Allow dough to rise fully for soft, fluffy rolls; do not rush the process.
  • Handle dough gently when shaping to preserve air bubbles for fluffiness.
  • Bake on the middle oven rack for even heat and perfectly browned tops.
  • Brush rolls with melted plant-based butter immediately after baking to keep crust soft and flavorful.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days to maintain softness.
  • Freeze cooled rolls in airtight containers for up to three months; thaw at room temperature or warm gently before serving.
  • Reheat rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-8 minutes or microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for 20 seconds for quick softness restoration.
