Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup vegan butter, melted
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix the dry ingredients together until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1/4 cup of melted vegan butter, 1/2 cup of almond milk, and 1 tablespoon of yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast becomes frothy. This indicates that the yeast is activated.
- Once the yeast mixture is frothy, pour it into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix everything together using a wooden spoon or your hands until a dough begins to form.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour as needed.
- Shape the kneaded dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Allow the dough to rise in a warm place for about 15-20 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
- After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place them in a greased baking dish, leaving some space between each roll.
- Cover the baking dish with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise again for about 10-15 minutes, until they puff up slightly.
- While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Once the rolls have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
- Remove the rolls from the oven and brush the tops with any remaining melted vegan butter for added flavor. Let them cool slightly before serving.
- Enjoy your Vegan Garlic Butter Rolls warm, either on their own or as a side to your favorite vegan dishes!
Tips
- Activate Your Yeast: Make sure your almond milk is warm but not hot when combining it with the yeast. This helps activate the yeast effectively, ensuring your rolls rise beautifully.
- Kneading Technique: Knead the dough until it’s smooth and elastic. If it feels too sticky, don’t hesitate to add a little more flour, but be careful not to overdo it, as too much flour can make the rolls dense.
- Warm Rising Environment: For the best results, find a warm spot in your kitchen for the dough to rise. You can even turn on your oven for a minute or two, then turn it off and place the dough inside to create a cozy environment.
- Don’t Rush the Rising: Allow the dough to rise until it doubles in size. This may take a bit longer depending on the temperature of your kitchen, but it’s crucial for achieving light and fluffy rolls.
- Brush with Butter: For an extra layer of flavor, brush the tops of the rolls with melted vegan butter right after they come out of the oven. This not only adds richness but also gives them a beautiful shine!
- Serve Warm: These rolls are best enjoyed warm. Serve them fresh out of the oven as a side dish or enjoy them on their own with a touch of your favorite vegan spread.
