What are vegan dinner rolls made of?

It is absolutely easy to make dairy-free dinner rolls with no-egg in the bread machine. To make light and fluffy dinner rolls at home in the bread maker you will need basic pantry ingredients like bread flour, yeast, sugar, salt, oil, and water.

I have successfully made dinner rolls with King Arthur all-purpose flour will instead of bread flour. Instant yeast or bread machine yeast works well in the bread machine. You can read more about which yeast to use in a bread machine.

To brush the dinner rolls after baking vegan butter can be applied, with the help of a basting brush, on the top of the rolls once they are ready.

How to make dough for rolls in a bread machine?

I have made these dinner rolls in the Hamilton Beach bread machine. However, all of the bread machines have the "Dough" cycle. The best part is that you only need to put all the ingredients (water, oil, sugar, salt, bread flour, and instant yeast) in the container and start the "Dough" cycle which will mix, knead and get the dough through its first rise.

How to make fluffy dinner rolls?

The key to making light and fluffy dinner rolls is to make perfect dough. It is also highly recommended to weigh the flour using a food scale instead of measuring it by a cup to ensure consistency.

Sifting the flour also helps make the flour aerated which helps to make light dinner rolls. However, it is optional. You can also refer to my blog where I have elaborated on the process of making bread dough in a bread machine.

How do you shape dinner rolls?

Once the dough is ready, place it on a lightly floured surface so it is easy to work and does not feel sticky while shaping. Divide the dough into pieces using a dough pastry scraper cutter or a pizza cutter and roll them into dough balls.

An easy way to roll the balls to get a smooth surface is to tuck all ends of the dough piece on one side to make the other side smooth. For making even size rolls, you can even weigh every dough piece (about 37-38 grams) and then roll it into a ball.

How to proof rolls in the oven?

In colder temperatures, the oven is very useful for proving dough. Turn the oven on “warm” mode for 5 minutes and place the tray in the oven for the second rise. Make sure to turn the oven off after 5 minutes.

How long do you proof rolls in the oven?

Place the shaped rolls to proof in the warm oven to rise for about an hour and a half. Cover the dough balls with another tray so that they do not dry while proving.

How to bake bread rolls in the oven?

Remove the tray from the oven if the dinner rolls are placed inside it for proofing. Preheat the oven to 350 deg F. Bake the dinner rolls for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Once they’re baked, remove the tray from the oven using oven mittens and apply some butter using a basting brush, while they are hot, for a nice shiny glaze.
