Cost: Recipe $1.19 / Serving $0.10
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water, about 110°F ($0.00)
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast, one packet ($0.38)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar ($0.05)
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil ($0.42)
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour or bread flour ($0.33)
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt ($0.01)
Instructions
- Make dough. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, active dry yeast, and salt. Make a well in the center and add the granulated sugar, oil, and warm water. Stir until a dough forms.
- Knead. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Add additional flour as needed until the dough is no longer sticky.
- First rise. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, until doubled in size.
- Shape rolls. Punch down the dough and divide into 12 equal portions, about 2 ounces each. Shape into smooth balls by flattening slightly and tucking the edges underneath to create rounded tops.
- Second rise. Arrange the rolls in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spacing evenly. Cover and let rise again for about 1 hour, until doubled and touching.
- Bake. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Bake for about 15 minutes, until golden brown on top.
- Finish. Brush the tops with vegan butter or olive oil immediately after baking.
- Bread machine option. Add ingredients to the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer and run the dough cycle. When complete, continue with shaping and baking steps above.
Notes
- Dough test. Properly kneaded dough should feel springy and slowly fill in when poked.
- Portioning. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces for evenly sized rolls.
- Topping option. For sesame rolls, brush with a vegan egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds before baking.
- Cooling. Rolls will feel firm when hot and soften as they cool. Light wrinkling on top indicates good moisture retention.
