Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm unsweetened almond milk (or other non-dairy milk)
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 0.25 cup Coconut sugar (or granulated sugar)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour (or bread flour)
- 1 spray Non-dairy cooking spray (optional, for greasing)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, warm the almond milk until it is lukewarm (around 100-110°F). Be careful not to overheat it.
Step 2
Add the active dry yeast and 1 teaspoon of the coconut sugar to the warm almond milk. Stir gently to combine, and let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy and bubbles appear. This indicates the yeast is activated.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining coconut sugar, salt, vegetable oil, and unsweetened applesauce.
Step 4
Add the activated yeast mixture to the bowl and stir until well combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the flour to the wet ingredients, one cup at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Once the dough starts to come together, knead it by hand or with a stand mixer (fitted with a dough hook) for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is soft and smooth. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle in a little more flour—1 tablespoon at a time—until it becomes manageable.
Step 6
Lightly grease a clean bowl with non-dairy cooking spray or a small amount of vegetable oil. Place the dough in the bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Step 7
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release any air. Transfer it to a clean, lightly floured surface and roll the dough out into a rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 8
Cut the dough into 12 equal rectangular pieces. Shape each rectangle into a small, smooth roll if desired.
Step 9
Place the rolls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each piece. Cover loosely with a kitchen towel and let them rise again for about 30-45 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
Step 10
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 11
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
Step 12
Remove the bread from the oven, and if desired, lightly brush the tops with a small amount of melted non-dairy butter for extra flavor and shine. Let the bread cool slightly before serving.
