Vegan Bread Roll Recipe

-

Written by  McDonald, T.  |  Date 9th of April 2021

One way of cutting out the single use plastic is to make your own rolls.  Baking is fun and easy, but you will need to practice it to get the best results.  Another advantage to home baking is you control the ingredients.  Wholemeal is better for us because it has more nutrients and roughage.

Makes 4 rolls

Ingredients 

  • Strong wholemeal bread flour x 1.5 cups
  • Caster sugar x 1 tbsp
  • Salt x 1/2 tsp
  • Instant fast acting yeast  x 3.5g
  • Vegan butter x 20g
  • Soya milk x 1/4 cup
  • Water x 1/4 cup

Method

Stage 1

  1. Wash your hands
  2. Add the flour, salt and fast acting yeast to a medium to large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
  3. Heat the vegan milk and water in a saucepan the add the vegan butter and wait for it to melt. It is important not to let the milk boil. 
  4. Make a well in the mixture and add the vegan milk and melted vegan butter.  Be sure that the vegan milk and butter is not to hot or it will kill the yeast. 
  5. Mix together with a spoon until you get a sticky lump. You can start to use your hands at this point.
  6. Add some plan flour to your work surface ready to knead the dough. 
  7. Knead the dough for about 6 or 7 minutes or until it is smooth and elasticated. 
  8. Leave to rise in the mixing bowl for 1.5 hours or till it has doubled in size. 

Stage 2 

Rolls read for the oven

Shape the dough into a roll shape
  1. Gently punch and shape into a long roll.  
  2. Now cut into 4 equal sized pieces and shape them into roll.
  3. Place them on a greased baking try. 
  4. Cover with a tea towel and leave to rise again for another hour and a half.
  5. Put in a preheated oven at 190 C for 12 - 15 minutes.
  6. To give a golden colour add so vegan butter to the tops of the rolls and put back in the oven for another 3 -5 minutes. Keep an eye on them so they don't over bake.

Once baked, stand on a cooling grill.  You can leave them to cool completely or eat them while they are still warm.  They will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge.

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 11th of December 2023   This is something I have heard of, but never tried before.  Usually, we have traditional Christmas cake in my house, but last year I wanted to try something different and this was it.  Rest assured, I will be having it again this year too! At first, it seems like a lot of effort, but you will soon see that it is straight forward to make and definitely worth it.  However, it will need proofing and the dried fruit will need soaking, which will all take time, so plan ahead.  Notes I used French Brandy Marzipan and so used brandy to flavour the raisins and cranberries. I used almond milk. A good tip is to dust the soaked fruit with a little flour before adding the dough. You have 3 options with the marzipan:  Roll it out  Chop it up Have a thick bar of it running through the centre I soaked the dried fruit in brandy, but you can make it without the alcohol is you wish or use rum instead. I used a silicon baking sheet to save on the

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 27th of November 2023   Whatever the occasions, this is a great treat to be had.  The rum soaks into the raisins and results in a perfect infusion of flavours. The rum adds flavour to the raisins while the raisins add sweetness to the run.  This beautiful bread as a great bready texture, yet is fruity and warming to the soul. Although it doesn't need it, you can choose to dust it with icing sugar.
