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.

Viking Skause

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 12th of December 2022 Abstract  Skause is a Viking stew, which contained, boiled meat, vegetables and Mead , an alcoholic drink made from fermented honey and included spices (What Viking Diets Were Really Like, 2021).  I wanted to make something vegan that a meat eater would think of trying.  Being as meat eaters, especially men, see themselves as being a little on the wild side, I needed something that would appeal to the old world fun vibe.  So, when I was looking through old recipes for inspiration, the Viking food immediately jumped out at me.  Bearing in mind I need to appeal to both vegans and especially non-vegans, the mock meat had to be good.  Unfortunately, the mock meat I intended to use, Naked strips, was not available, so I had to improvise.  This resulted in the idea to add three different types of mock meat to the dish.  I struggled to find suitable mock meats at such short notice. ...

By T. McDonald . | Date 1st of November 2019 | Updated on 15th April 2021 Ever woke up and thought, ‘Is this it?’ Have you ever been plagued with the idea that something is wrong with the world or your life; something you can’t quite put your finger on? If you have seen the matrix, you may be aware of the famous quote about having a splinter in the mind. Something in life is wrong and that thing is the price of ignorance. Something in life is wrong.  The fictional character Morpheus from the movie The Matrix (1999) explains: ‘ …there is something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it is there like a splinter in your mind… ’ So, what is it that is troubling people so much that it comes out in modern media and common sayings?  To answer that question, we must first look at what we are. We are animals. Animals need to find resources by which to sustain themselves and humans are no different. Notably, many people also have pets ranging from dogs and...
