Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups Self-Rising Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Almond Milk
- 1 1/2 cups Dairy-Free Yogurt
Topping
- 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup (to brush on top)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9-inch round baking dish with parchment paper and lightly oil it using cooking spray. Set aside this prepared pan to use later.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, combine the self-rising flour, salt, dairy-free yogurt, and almond milk. Ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Form Dough: Use a dough hook attachment on a stand mixer or a rubber spatula to stir the mixture until a dough ball forms. If using a rubber spatula, knead the dough by hand for several minutes as it will be sticky. Adjust by adding a little more flour if too sticky or more almond milk if too dry, until a soft, cohesive dough ball is achieved.
- Divide and Shape Rolls: Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Lightly oil your hands to prevent sticking and roll each portion into a smooth ball shape.
- Arrange Rolls in Pan: Place the 8 dough balls into the prepared baking dish, spaced slightly apart as they will expand significantly during baking.
- Bake Rolls: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven on the center rack for 25-30 minutes. Bake until the tops are lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Glaze: Remove the rolls from the oven and place them on a wire rack to cool slightly. Brush the tops with maple syrup for a sweet glaze or alternatively with melted plant-based butter if you prefer a savory flavor.
Notes
- Self-rising flour contains baking powder and salt, so additional salt can be adjusted as per taste.
- If the dough feels too sticky to handle, add flour gradually to avoid over-drying.
- These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Maple syrup glaze adds a subtle sweetness; swap with melted vegan butter for a savory finish.
- You can substitute almond milk with any plant-based milk of your choice.
