🧾 Ingredients
This is the short list of ingredients to make these simple and fluffy vegan dinner rolls. No complications!

- Almond milk (or any other plant milk such as soy milk, rice milk, or oat milk)
- Dry yeast
- Melted Vegan butter or margarine (olive oil also works). Earth Balance is our dairy-free butter of choice.
- Bread flour
- Maple syrup (agave syrup or cane sugar)
- Salt
- Rosemary (optional).
🔪 Instructions
Dissolve the dry yeast in one cup of almond milk and the agave syrup and let it rest for 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and all the flour.
Then add the almond milk and yeast mixture to the mix and knead the dough.

Knead dough until you obtain a firm but soft dough ball.

On a lightly floured surface, make small golf-sized dough balls. Leave them in a lightly greased bowl, or even better, on the baking sheet where you plan to bake your vegan dinner rolls.
Then cover the dinner rolls with plastic wrap until they are doubled in size.

Let the dough rise until they have a soccer ball-like shape

Bake for 25 minutes. Serve warm.

🥢 How to serve
We like eating these beautiful and tasty vegan bread buns with this Spiced Cranberry Sauce. They are equally good to pair with savory and sweet dishes.

You can also have your focaccia as part of a vegan charcuterie board with spiced onions and spreads like hummus, roasted bell pepper Muhammara, Roasted red pepper hummus, and a Goddess Green Sauce.

❓FAQ
Many people who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet choose to avoid bread because bread is often made with ingredients like eggs, milk, and butter. However, many brands and varieties of bread are made without these animal-based ingredients. So if you're looking for a vegetarian or vegan-friendly bread option, plenty of choices are available, including all the bread recipes on this site.

📋 Recipe

Vegan Bread Buns
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 cups flour all-purpose, or bread flour
- 4 tablespoons vegan butter or margarine
- ¼ ounce dry yeast about 2 teaspoons
- 1 cup almond milk or any other vegetable milk. Almond Milk Recipe
- 3 sprig rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt fine
- 1 teaspoon agave syrup or sugar
Directions
- Lightly warm the milk, and add the yeast and the agave syrup. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Mix. In a large bowl, mix the flour and vegan butter.
- Add the yeast milk and salt. Mix well.
- Knead until a smooth elastic dough forms, for about 20 minutes.
- Brush the dough with vegan butter, cover the bowl with a plastic wrap, and set it somewhere warm to rise for two hours until it’s doubled in size. I like to let it rise overnight for them to get fluffier.
- Prepare a cake pan. Lightly grease a baking sheet for your rolls.
- Knead the dough for another two minutes and then start forming your 1-inch diameter buns. Take off pieces of the dough and create balls by pulling the edges down so that the top becomes smooth.
- Layout the buns on your baking pan, brushing them with extra margarine, leaving some room between them to allow them to rise.
- Cover again with the same plastic wrap and allow the rolls to rise again for around 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 450 ºF (220 ºC).
- Bake. When it’s finished its second rising, brush with bread margarine, put some rosemary sprigs on it and bake for 25 minutes, until the rolls are golden on top.
