    The best vegan dinner rolls

    The most difficult part of this recipe is waiting for the dinner rolls to rise, which is also the most time-consuming part. But aside from that, you'll turn the simple ingredients into perfect vegan bread rolls with minimal effort. If you think that baking bread from scratch is a challenging process, this recipe will prove you wrong!

    The result? The vegan dinner rolls are fluffy, buttery, and practically melt in your mouth. In other words, exactly what you look for in a good-quality dinner roll. They're seriously so amazing that no one will be able to tell that they contain no eggs or dairy at all!

    How to make vegan dinner rolls

    Start by mixing together plant based milk at 95 degrees F/35 degrees C with dry yeast, sugar and salt. Set aside for ten minutes to allow the yeast to activate. Now gradually add flour and mix until thoroughly incorporated.

    Now transfer the dough to a roughly-floured surface and divide into 7 equal sections. Roll each section into a ball, and lay them out on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cover and allow to rise for 30 minutes more.

    Instructions for storage and freezing

    You can keep these vegan dinner rolls in the fridge, covered, for up to a week. You can also freeze them in ziplock bags for up to 2 months. Before reheating, allow to thaw fully in the fridge overnight, then reheat at 180 degrees C/350 F for 10 minutes.

    How to make vegan dinner rolls ahead of time

    To make these bread rolls ahead of time, make them as instructed and keep in the fridge, covered with foil, for up to 3 days. Then, simply bake and serve as normal.

    How to serve vegan dinner rolls

    These vegan dinner rolls are delicious enough to eat by themselves, but they're even more amazing with a thick layer of vegan butter. I also love them with avocado, peanut butter, or any other type of spread that I'm feeling in the moment. Eggplant caviar and soft, spreadable garlic confit would make an amazing topping!

    You can also serve them as a side dish for comforting recipes such as vegan chili, tomato soup and pumpkin soup. They would also make an exceptional addition to a party table together with dishes like spicy cauliflower.
