Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1/4 cup natural Sugar
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp natural gelling agent
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Plant-Based Butter, softened
- 3/4 cup warm Plant-Based Milk
- 2 Eggs (or 2 flaxseed eggs as plant-based substitute)
- 1 tbsp natural Sugar (for yeast activation)
- 1 tsp Yeast (active dry or instant)
- 1 tsp Vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce (natural) (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Yeast Mixture: Dissolve the yeast in warm plant-based milk combined with a pinch of natural sugar. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until frothy, indicating the yeast is active and ready to work magic in the dough.
- Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, natural sugar, salt, and natural gelling agent. Add the eggs (or flaxseed eggs), softened plant-based butter, the frothy yeast mixture, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce if using. Blend everything until the dough starts to come together.
- Knead Until Smooth and Elastic: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth, elastic, and slightly sticky. Kneading develops gluten for the soft texture of the Brioche Rolls.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and leave it in a warm spot for 1 to 2 hours until it doubles in size.
- Shape the Rolls: Gently punch down the dough, divide it into even portions, and shape each into a round ball. Arrange the rolls on a lined baking tray, leaving enough space between each for rising.
- Second Rise: Cover the shaped rolls and let them rest for 45 to 60 minutes until puffy and soft, ensuring lightness and fluffiness.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly brush the rolls with plant-based milk or a similar glaze for a golden sheen. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until the tops are beautifully browned.
Notes
- Choose fresh yeast for a better rise and fluffiness.
- Do not add too much flour; keep the dough slightly sticky for softer rolls.
- Provide a warm environment to ensure quicker and better dough rise.
- Using quality plant-based butter greatly enhances richness and authentic taste.
- Allow sufficient time for each rise to achieve an airy crumb.
