Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups Bread flour
  • tsp salt
  • tsp Instant yeast
  • 1 cup Plant milk
  • 2 TBS Sugar
  • ¼ cup Olive oil
  • 3 TBS Flour Bread or All purpose
  • ½ cup Water

Instructions
 

  • Combine the plant milk and sugar in a small microwave-safe bowl for 15-30 seconds until lukewarm.
  • In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the oil and 3 TBS flour until smooth, once the flour begins to sizzle, slowly add your water while stirring until it becomes an even paste.
  • Once you've got an even paste, remove it from the heat and add to the milk-sugar mixture, whisk to combine. Your milk and paste mixture should be warm but not hot, add the yeast and whisk to combine, and let it set for 5 minutes.
  • In a medium-large bowl, combine your 3 cups of bread flour with the salt.
  • Once the milk mixture has set for approximately 5 minutes, you can pour it into the bowl with the flour and combine with a wooden spoon or runner spatula until you have a shaggy crumbly consistency. Let this set for 5 minutes to hydrate the flour.
  • Knead by hand for 3 minutes until you have a nice smooth ball of dough. Set the dough in a medium/large oiled bowl, cover it with a damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and set it in a warm place for 1-2 hours, the dough should about double in size.
  • Pat down the dough, remove it from the bowl onto a clean flat surface, and cut it into 12 evenly sized pieces.
  • Roll the dough in a circular motion on a flat surface with your hand, it should form a ball that tightens the more you roll. Each ball should take about 10 seconds or so to roll. As you go, place them directly into a greased 9x13-inch pan.
  • Cover and place in a warm place for about 1 hour or until they are double in size. Once they've risen, they should all be touching with little space at the corners of each roll.
  • Lightly oil with olive oil and a brush, then lightly sprinkle with salt. Place in the bottom 3rd of the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, and allow to cool for 10-20 minutes before removing from the pan. ENJOY!
