Dairy and Egg Free Dinner Rolls

We love bread around here but once again, sometimes it is very hard to find a simple recipe that doesn't need eggs or milk.

What you will need:

Large mixing bowl
Rubber spatula
Kitchen towel
Baking sheet
Vegetable or soy based cooking spray
Something to cut the dough (I use a pizza cutter)
1 1/2 cups Luke warm water
1 tablespoon (or a package) of instant yeast
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons softened vegan butter
4 loose cups (don't pack it, you'll get too much that way) flour
1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional (for topping):

2-3 tablespoons melted vegan butter
Salt


Directions:

Go ahead and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. (You'll need the heat from the oven to help the dough rise)

Combine water, yeast and sugar. Let sit for about 5 minutes or until frothy.

Add 2 tablespoons of softened vegan butter, salt, and 2 cups of flour.

Mix until combined.

Add the remaining flour and mix well.

Knead the dough for a few minutes. (I stopped once it started sticking to my hands too much)

Cover the dough using a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm area (I set mine on top of the preheated oven) for about 20 minutes.

Punch the dough down and turn it onto a lightly floured surface.

Knead it a little more and roll it into a ball.

Flatten it out a bit, not very thin, but so it's wide enough to easily cut into rolls.

Cut your dough into equal portions.

Roll each section into a ball and place onto lightly greased baking sheet

Cover with towel and let rise again for another 20 minutes.

If desired, brush tops of rolls with melted vegan butter.

Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until golden.

Again, if desired, after removing rolls from the oven, brush them with more melted vegan butter.

Serve and enjoy!
