Calories: 169kcal
Equipment
- Stand mixer or large bowl
Ingredients
- 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (one standard size packet. You can also use instant yeast)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1¼ cup oat milk (or any non-dairy milk, heated until lukewarm, not hot)
- 1 teaspoon salt (tweak to your preference)
- 4 tablespoons vegan butter (at room temperature, cut into pieces)
- 1½ cups whole wheat flour
- 1½ cups bread flour
For optional glaze
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon oat milk
Instructions
- Place lukewarm milk, sugar and yeast in bowl. If using active dry yeast, wait 3-5 minutes until it begins to froth or bubble.
- Add the vegan butter, all of the flour and salt to the bowl.
- Using a stand mixer, or by hand, mix the ingredients until a dough forms. Then continue to knead for five minutes in the stand mixer set to medium speed, or by hand, until the dough is smooth and supple with no stickiness.
- Remove the dough to a work surface and form into a smooth ball. Oil the bowl and place the ball of dough in it. Oil the top of the dough as well. Cover tightly with a lid or cling wrap and set the dough aside for an hour in a warm spot.
- After an hour the dough will have risen and more than doubled. Remove the dough from the bowl and, using a bench scraper or a knife, cut into 12 even pieces.
- Shape each piece into a ball. Do this by tucking the edges of each portion of dough under, then use your palm to roll the ball of dough on your work surface until you have a smooth ball. Place the balls of dough in a baking dish lightly coated with oil.
- Cover the bread rolls loosely with a kitchen towel and set them aside for an hour in a warm spot in your kitchen. The bread rolls will more than double and join together at the seams. They will continue to rise a bit more in the oven.
- Just before the bread rolls have finished rising, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, 180 degrees Celsius. Bake the bread rolls for 25 minutes until the tops are a rich golden-brown. As soon as the rolls come out of the oven, brush the tops with the optional oat milk and maple syrup glaze. Cool the rolls in the pan, on a wire rack.
