Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast (1 packet)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar (natural)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent (optional)
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water (about 110°F / 43°C)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

For Finishing

  • Plant-based butter (natural), melted, for brushing (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar (natural), salt, and the natural gelling agent if using. Stir well until everything is evenly mixed to prepare the base for a soft dough.
  2. Add wet ingredients and combine: Pour warm water and vegetable oil into the dry mixture. Stir gently with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms. Avoid kneading; the yeast activates during resting.
  3. First rise: Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rest at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours. This allows the yeast to create air bubbles for fluffy rolls.
  4. Shape the rolls: Lightly flour a surface and your hands. Scoop and shape the dough into even-sized balls. Place them close but not touching in a greased baking dish or lined baking tray.
  5. Second rise: Cover the shaped rolls with a clean towel and let them rise for another 45 minutes to an hour until puffed up and airy.
  6. Bake and finish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Immediately after baking, brush the tops with melted plant-based butter (natural) for a glossy, flavorful finish.

Notes

  • Use warm, not hot, water to activate yeast properly.
  • Shape the dough loosely to maintain light texture.
  • Cover dough with a clean kitchen towel during rising to keep moist and allow air circulation.
  • Brushing rolls with plant-based butter (natural) right after baking locks in moisture and adds a golden crust.
  • For variations, consider adding herbs, garlic butter (plant-based), whole wheat flour substitution, cinnamon and maple syrup (natural), or shredded plant-based cheese.
