there's one thing that is a must for any
Thanksgiving menu. well any holiday
really. no it's not the mashed potatoes
and gravy. it's not the mac and cheese.
it's no vegetables, it's no stuffing. it's
warm, soft, buttery, dinner rolls. okay all
that other stuff is important too but I
love a good dinner roll especially on
Thanksgiving. you need something to sop
up all those juices left on your plate
growing up we had a family friend that
came to all of our holiday get-togethers
and it was always requested that this
person bring the dinner rolls they were
absolutely perfect and I decided that I
needed to get in the kitchen and make
this dairy-free, vegan dinner roll that
everyone will love and everyone can eat
no matter what their allergies or food
preferences are. so we finally perfected
the recipe. you need just one bowl, a
little bit of patience and time and just
six ingredients and you're gonna have
the perfect soft fluffy buttery dinner
rolls that are gonna be a huge hit with
all of your family as well. let's show
you how to do it
(music)
we're going to start out with a large
mixing bowl prefilled with two cups of
flour .the recipe calls for somewhere
between four and five cups of flour so
make sure you have enough on hand
before you get started
next is cane sugar and then yeast. you can
pour this right in without proofing it.
typically you only need to proof your
yeast when you aren't sure if it is
alive. add in your last dry ingredient
which is salt and then move on to the
wet stuff pour in your dairy-free milk
and remember to choose a neutral
flavored milk here you don't want to go
with like a coconut or anything with a
strong or distinct flavor as that's
gonna come out in your dinner rolls when
you taste them. your last ingredient is
going to be melted vegan butter but make
sure it's not hot. it could also just be
softened or you can even use an oil. now
grab your stand mixer so we can knead
the dough. make sure it's fitted with the
proper attachment. now take your bowl and
place it onto the stand mixer. then we're
gonna begin to mix at a very low speed.
you want to mix slowly until everything
is well incorporated. you may need a
spatula to push down the flour on the
sides. once everything looks mixed in
begin to add the extra flour just 1/2 a
cup at a time. remember you may not use
all your flour. you will keep adding the
flour, 1/2 a cup at a time, looking for
your dough ball to begin to form once
your dough ball begins to form you can
stop the stand mixer to feel the dough
make sure it's not too sticky.
if so add another 1/2 a cup give or take
until your dough ball is ready. when it's
ready remove the dough ball, lightly oil
the bowl, and place it back in there.
cover it with a towel so it can rise
(music)
with your dough now doubled in size, punch
it down. coat a pan, and start forming
your rolls. each roll should be about two
and a half to three ounces. just pull
pieces off your dough to form balls and
then place them in a pan slightly spaced
out. in a nine by thirteen dish they
should look something like this. you want
to cover these and let them rise one
last time
(music)
when they're ready they shouldn't be on
top of each other, but they should
definitely be touching. pre-heat your
oven if you haven't already done so and
then brush the tops of your dough with
more melted vegan butter right before
you place them into the oven to cook
(music)
when ready pulled them out of the oven
and add your final touch of more melted
vegan butter to the top. thanks so much
for watching .make sure you like and
leave a comment below head over to the
site for more meal inspiration to serve
with your rolls but we also won't judge
if you decide just to eat these straight
from the pan alone. see you next week
