Ingredients
- 500 grams all-purpose flour
- 7 grams instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 300 milliliters unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 50 grams coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, gently warm the almond milk over low heat until it's lukewarm to the touch. Do not boil.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the lukewarm almond milk, sugar, and instant yeast. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and let it sit for 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
Step 3
In a large bowl, sift the all-purpose flour and salt together. Create a well in the center.
Step 4
Add the yeast mixture to the flour and start mixing to form a dough.
Step 5
Melt the coconut oil until it's in a liquid state if solid. Gradually add it to the dough while kneading.
Step 6
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it's smooth and elastic.
Step 7
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until it doubles in size.
Step 8
Once the dough has risen, punch down the air gently and divide it into 12 equal parts.
Step 9
Shape each part into a smooth ball and place them in a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between each ball.
Step 10
Cover the baking dish with a damp cloth and let the rolls rise again for about 30-45 minutes or until doubled in size.
Step 11
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
Step 12
Bake the risen rolls in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Step 13
Remove the rolls from the oven and brush them with a little more melted coconut oil for a glossy finish.
Step 14
Let the pav cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
