Sweet Yeast Rolls (Vegan) Recipe
This is my favorite bread recipe. The rolls have a soft crust and are slightly sweet and yeasty. They are especially good straight from the oven but also keep well for a few days. I like to brush them with agave nectar instead of the margarine/oil to make them a bit sweeter. If you eat honey, that could work too.
This recipe is adapted slightly from the Soft Sandwich Bread recipe at http://www.vegan-food.net/. Prep time includes preparation and rising times.
Ingredients
- 2 cups rice milk or 2 cups soymilk
- 1/4 cup margarine or 1/4 cup oil, plus 1 T extra for brushing
- 1/2 cup sugar, plus 1/4 t extra
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons yeast
- 5 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon agave nectar (optional)
Instructions
- Heat rice/soy milk to scalding. Pour into a bowl with the margarine/oil, 1/2 cup of sugar and salt.
- In another bowl combine the water, yeast and 1/4 t sugar and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
- After the soy milk mixture has cooled, add the yeast mixture. Then add 1/2 cup flour and beat about 200 times. Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Add 4 cups flour and beat well, then begin to mix with your hands. Add about 1 more cup flour or enough to produce a consistency of dough that can be turned out onto a floured board. Knead for 5 minutes.
- Put dough into a well-oiled bowl and let rise for 1 hour. Punch down and form about 12 rolls. Place them on an oiled cookie sheet and allow to rise for 1/2 hour.
- Bake at 375F for about 20 minutes or until the bottoms are brown and the tops are beginning to turn golden brown. Brush with margarine/oil/agave nectar.
