Ingredients
2 cups unsweetened soy milk (or other creamy unsweetened plant milk such as almond, cashew, coconut, or oat milk; avoid rice milk)
2 tablespoons instant rapid rise yeast (regular yeast can be used with longer rise time)
1/4 cup granulated sugar (organic preferred for vegan-friendly)
8 tablespoons vegan butter, softened
5 to 5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (whole wheat may be dense; gluten-free mix untested)
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons melted vegan butter for brushing after baking
Instructions
1-Warm the soy milk until lukewarm (about bath water temperature)
2-In a bowl or stand mixer, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar; stir lightly and let sit for 3 minutes until foamy. If not foaming, restart with fresh yeast.
3-Add softened vegan butter, 4 cups of flour, gré and salt. Mix with a dough hook or by hand until flour is incorporated.
4-Gradually add more flour (1/2 cup at a time) until dough forms a slightly sticky, soft ball that pulls away from bowl sides. Knead about 5 minutes with a mixer or 10 minutes by hand.
5-Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm spot for 30 minutes until doubled in size.
6-Punch down dough gently and shape into a large rectangle on a floured surface.
7-Cut dough into 4 long strips, then cut each strip into 6 pieces to make 24 rolls.
8-To form smooth tops, pull seams downward and place smoother side up; put rolls close together in a greased quarter baking sheet or 9×13 inch dish.
9-Cover again with a towel and let rise for another 30 minutes.
10-Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
11-Bake rolls uncovered for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown. Cover with foil if tops brown too quickly.
12-Immediately brush baked rolls with melted vegan butter. Serve warm.

🥛 Use any unsweetened, unflavored plant milk for best results, avoiding watery options like rice milk.
🍞 Instant yeast shortens rise time; regular yeast requires longer rises (1½ to 2 hours first rise, 30 minutes to 1 hour second rise).
👩🍳 A stand mixer with dough hook makes mixing and kneading easy but is not necessary; strong spoon mixing and hand kneading also work well.
