Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast (1 packet)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm water (about 110°F)
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/4 cup softened plant-based butter

Garlic Butter Topping

  • 1/4 cup melted plant-based butter
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast: Combine warm water, sugar, and instant yeast in a bowl. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until bubbly and foamy, indicating the yeast is active.
  2. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt. Pour in the yeast mixture, plant-based milk, and softened plant-based butter. Mix thoroughly until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
  3. Knead the Dough: Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook on medium speed for about 6 minutes.
  4. First Rise: Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  5. Shape the Rolls: Once risen, punch down dough gently and divide into equal portions. Shape each into smooth balls and arrange closely in a greased baking dish or lined sheet pan. Cover and let rise again for 30 to 45 minutes until puffy.
  6. Garlic Butter Brushing: Melt plant-based butter and mix in minced fresh garlic. When rolls have finished their second rise, brush generously with the garlic butter mixture.
  7. Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake rolls for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown on top. For extra gloss, brush with more garlic butter immediately after removing from oven.

Notes

  • Use warm water, not hot, to activate yeast without killing it.
  • Knead dough well to develop gluten for a fluffy texture.
  • Cover dough properly during rising phases to prevent drying out.
  • Use freshly minced garlic for best flavor.
  • Brush warm rolls with garlic butter right after baking for maximum absorption and flavor.
