The Recipe How-To
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 15-20 minutes
Total Time: 2 hours
Step One: Activate the Yeast
In a large bowl, whisk together warm water, a packet of active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon of cane sugar. Let it sit for about five minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
Step Two: Mix the Dough
Pour in 2 cups of soymilk, ½ cup of margarine, 1/3 cup of cane sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt into the bowl with the yeast mixture. Whisk everything together until it is smooth.
Add in about 7 cups of flour, one cup at a time, mixing after each addition, until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Continue kneading on a floured surface for about ten minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Step Three: Let the Dough Rise
Place the ball of dough into a greased bowl and cover it with a towel. Put it in a warm spot like an oven with a light on or some place sunny for about an hour to let it rise.
Step Four: Shape the Rolls
Punch down the dough once it has doubled in size. Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C while you form your rolls. Take a small amount of dough and roll it into a little ball that fits comfortably in your palm.
Grease a baking sheet lined with parchment baking paper or spray oil. Place each roll onto the baking sheet for another 20-25 minutes until they turn golden brown.
Step Five: The Sweet Finish
While still hot, gently rub some vegan margarine onto each roll top to give them that irresistible sheen and texture. Enjoy!
Note:
If you want these sweet rolls ready super fast than leave out step one and two and use instat yeast instead (4 teaspoons).
Substitutions and Variations
When it comes to making food, one of the most enjoyable aspects is being able to get creative with the ingredients. With this sweet yeast rolls recipe, there are many substitutions and variations that can be made to fit your personal preferences or dietary needs.
For those who cannot consume wheat flour, there are gluten-free options such as rice flour or a gluten-free baking mix. Sweet potato rolls can also be a delicious alternative that will add extra nutrients to your meal. If you’re looking for a recipe without yeast, baking powder can be used in its place.
If you prefer savory over sweet, garlic rolls are a simple and delicious variation that can be easily made by adding garlic powder or minced garlic into the dough. You can also switch out the sugar for a savory seasoning like herbs or spice blends.
For those following a vegan diet, those ingredients 1 and ingredients 2 can be replaced with plant-based milk such as oat milk or soy milk. Margarine can also be substituted with vegan butter or coconut oil.
Lastly, this recipe doesn’t have to just be reserved for dinner parties. These rolls make for a great breakfast treat as well! Try adding cinnamon to the dough and serving with maple syrup as a sweet morning pick-me-up.

Make-Ahead, Storing and Reheating
If you want to stay ahead of your game, I recommend preparing the dough a day in advance and keeping it in the refrigerator until the next day. This infusion of flavors will provide an even better outcome.
In terms of storing these Sweet Yeast Rolls, you can either leave them in a cool and dry place or put the rolls inside a container and place it in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you are storing them in the container, be sure to lay a parchment paper underneath each layer to avoid sticking.
To reheat these rolls quickly, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and place the rolls on a baking sheet. Put them in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until they become soft and fluffy as when they were just freshly baked.
Tips for Perfect Results
In order to make the best vegan sweet yeast rolls, here are some tips to follow:
Firstly, use the right flour. It is important to use all-purpose flour as it has a medium level of protein which results in the perfect texture for your homemade dinner rolls. Bread flour can also be used but it may result in a chewier texture.
Secondly, make sure that the water used to activate the yeast is warm, but not too hot or too cold. Using water that is too hot can kill the yeast and result in flat rolls while using cold water will not activate the yeast at all.
Another key tip is to let the dough rise until it has doubled in size. This may take some time and patience but trust me, your vegan dinner rolls will have a much better texture if you wait for the dough to rise properly.
It is also important to handle the dough gently when shaping it into dinner rolls. Avoid pushing down on the dough too hard or handling it vigorously as this can result in tough and dense rolls.
If you want to add more flavor and nutrition to your vegan sweet yeast rolls, try adding some chopped nuts or seeds like almonds, walnuts or sunflower seeds. You can also sprinkle some herbs like rosemary or thyme on top of the rolls before baking for an added savory kick.
Finally, don’t forget that practice makes perfect! Don’t be discouraged if your first batch of sweet yeast rolls doesn’t come out exactly how you imagined. Experiment with different variations and techniques until you find the perfect recipe that suits your taste buds. With a little patience and practice, you’ll soon be making soft and fluffy vegan dinner rolls that are sure to impress!
FAQ
As a vegan chef, I understand how important it is to clear any doubts you may have when creating a new recipe. In this FAQ section, I’ve answered some of the most frequently asked questions about these sweet yeast rolls to ensure that your baking experience is smooth and enjoyable. Let’s dive in and clarify any uncertainties you may have.
Can you substitute almond milk for milk in rolls?
For this recipe, almond milk serves as our preferred milk of choice. However, any brand of unflavored and unsweetened milk, such as soy milk or oat milk, can be used as a substitute. When mixing the dough, adding cane sugar not only helps activate the yeast but also enhances the taste by providing a subtle sweetness.
Why aren t my yeast rolls light and fluffy?
Achieving fluffy dinner rolls might require troubleshooting in two areas. One, overuse of flour or exclusive use of bread flour could contribute to a dense texture. Two, rushing the proofing process before baking the rolls could prevent them from reaching their full, soft potential.
