How to Make Vegan Dinner Rolls Recipe (2024)

FAQs

What bread rolls are vegan? ›

Vegans can eat bread that does not contain animal products or byproducts. This includes breads that only use some variation on flour, water, yeast, and salt including ciabatta, baguette, focaccia, sourdough, pita, and ezekiel breads.

Either, you added too much flour or you possibly used all bread flour. Alternately, not giving your dinner rolls enough time to proof and get puffy before baking could yield dense rolls.

Sliced bread brands like Warburtons and Hovis are generally safe, as are white, brown, and crusty loaves you'll find in a typical bakery. Pita bread is also likely to be plant-based, as well as ciabatta, crumpet, focaccia, bagel, flatbread, sourdough and baguette.

Cast iron conducts heat more evenly and bakes breads to a perfectly golden color. If it is well seasoned, it also enhances the flavor of whatever you are cooking or baking in. Cast iron can be used on the stove top or directly in the oven.

Baking Pan: I prefer baking the rolls in a glass 9×13 inch baking pan because I find they brown a little too quickly in metal. As long as you bake the rolls on a lower oven rack and keep your eye on them, any pan is great.

Salt adds flavor to bread. If none or too little is used in a recipe, the bread will lack the right flavor and taste "bland." If you reduce the amount of salt, try adding some dried herbs to increase the flavor. Too much yeast in bread will give bread an off-taste.

Shape and Rise

Each dough ball will weigh right around 3 ounces, give or take. Space them a little bit apart in the baking pan and let them rise until very puffy and the sides are touching. Don't skimp on the rising! If they don't rise long enough, they won't reach their fluff-fluffy potential.

Too much flour results in a dry, crumbly dough that's unpleasant and difficult to work with. It doesn't stick to itself and tends to fall apart when kneaded.

Too much flour makes yeast dough too stiff to rise correctly. Be careful measuring flour. When flour is "scooped" into the measuring cup directly from the container, it compresses or becomes packed. This means you will be adding more flour than called for in the recipe.

Generally, while dough should be a little tacky to the touch, it shouldn't cling to your hands (certain types of bread might call for a stickier dough, but unless that's stated in the recipe, sticky dough is a no-go). Most often, the problem is too much water in the dough.

How do you keep homemade rolls from drying out? ›

Refrigeration pulls moisture from bread, which speeds up the staling process and causes the bread to dry out. For longer storage, freeze the bread. Most yeast breads and rolls freeze well. To freeze, wrap securely in aluminum foil, freezer wrap or place in freezer bags.

Suitable for Vegans. Suitable for Vegetarians. May Contain: Milk, Sesame.

Although all Warburtons breads are vegetarian, not all of them are vegan due to the inclusion of honey, milk, eggs, or ghee in some of their products. Check the label to be certain that the one you reach for suits you.
