Here's what you need: vegan butter, almond milk, vegan butter, organic sugar, active dry yeast, flour, salt, vegan butter, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, powdered sugar, almond milk, vanilla extract

Provided by Merle O'Neal

Categories     Desserts

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons vegan butter, to coat the foil pan
2 cups almond milk, at room temperature
½ cup vegan butter, melted
¼ cup organic sugar
1 packet active dry yeast
5 ½ cups flour, divided
1 teaspoon salt
¾ cup vegan butter
¾ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons almond milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Generously rub two disposable foil pie pans with vegan butter.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the almond milk, melted butter, and sugar. The mixture should be just warm, registering between 100-110˚F (37-43˚C). If it is hotter, allow to cool slightly.
  • Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the warm mixture and let set for 1 minute.
  • Add 5 cups flour and 1 teaspoon of salt to the milk mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined.
  • Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • After 1 hour, the dough should have nearly doubled in size.
  • Remove the towel and add an additional ½ cup (95g) of flour and salt. Stir well, then turn out onto a well-floured surface.
  • Knead the dough lightly, adding additional flour as necessary, until the dough just loses its stickiness and does not stick to the surface.
  • Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about ½-inch (1 cm) thick. Fix corners to make sure they are sharp and even.
  • Spread the softened vegan butter evenly over the dough.
  • Sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon.
  • Roll up the dough, forming a log, and pinch the seam closed. Place seam-side down. Trim off any unevenness on either end.
  • Cut the log in half, then divide each half into 7 evenly sized pieces. About 1½ inches (8 cm) thick each.
  • Place 7 cinnamon rolls in each cake pan, one in the center, six around the sides. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm place to rise for 30 minutes.
  • To prepare the frosting. In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, almond milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Remove plastic wrap. Bake the cinnamon rolls in a preheated oven at 350˚F (180˚C) for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
  • While still warm, drizzle evenly with frosting.
  • Enjoy!

MY AUNT TERRIE'S FAMOUS HOMEMADE DINNER ROLLS (BEST EVER!)



My Aunt Terrie's Famous Homemade Dinner Rolls (Best Ever!) image

Provided by Food Network

Time 2h55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 sticks butter
1 1/4 cups warm water
2 packages dry yeast (recommended: Rapid Rise Fleishmann's)
2 tablespoons sugar, plus 1 cup
5 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a heat-proof bowl, melt 1 stick of the butter in the microwave and allow it to cool.
  • Add 1/4 cup warm (not hot) water, the yeast, and 2 tablespoons of sugar to a small bowl and stir slightly with fork. Set aside to proof.
  • In a mixing bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, put 3 cups of the flour with the salt, eggs (preferably at room temperature), 1 cup warm (not hot) water, 1 cup sugar, and the cooled melted butter. Mix well.
  • Add the yeast mixture and gradually add the remaining 2 cups of flour and keep beating. Cook's Note: You may not need the whole 5 cups of flour; the stickier (not runny) the dough, the lighter the rolls.
  • Transfer the dough to a large bowl and pour about 1/4 cup of oil over the dough. Cover with a plate and let rise, at least double or more its original size, about 2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • After the dough has risen, transfer it to a floured surface and knead it a little. Roll out the dough about 1/4-inch thick (or thinner). Let the dough rest a few minutes while you melt the other stick of butter. Use a cookie cutter and cut out rolls. Dip each roll in melted butter, fold in half and put them on a sheet pan. Arrange them close together, filling up the pan.
  • Bake until nice and brown. Ovens vary, so maybe about 20 minutes.
  • Take the pan out of oven and immediately brush the rolls with butter. Transfer them to a serving dish and serve.

Categories     Breads

Time 3h25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
1/4 c lukewarm water
1 c milk
1 lightly beaten egg
3 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp sugar
3/4 tsp salt
3 c all-purpose flour
egg white with 1 Tbsp water (for egg wash)

Steps:

  • 1. Start by activating the yeast. Pour the yeast and water into a bowl.
  • 2. Heat milk and butter in the microwave for 1 minute (do not boil).
  • 3. Add to the yeast and water, egg, sugar, salt, and one cup of the flour. Stir just a little.
  • 4. Add milk and butter (this cant be hot or it will kill the yeast). Stir and switch to a rubber spatula.
  • 5. Add remaining flour.
  • 6. Stir until you have a sticky, but knead-able, dough. The more you work the dough the less sticky it becomes.
  • 7. Pour out on floured surface.
  • 8. Knead for 6 - 7 minutes, only adding a little flour if it gets too sticky. If too much flour is added, an unpleasant crust forms.

  • 11. Now after the dough has risen, remove the cover. Pour onto a floured surface and punch down the dough.
  • 12. Pat with hands shaping it into a square.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will result in the best rolls. Make sure to use bread flour, which has a higher protein content than all-purpose flour and will give the rolls a chewier texture.
  • Activate the yeast properly: Before adding the yeast to the dough, make sure to activate it in warm water with a little sugar. This will help the yeast to grow and produce carbon dioxide, which will give the rolls their rise.
  • Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough develops the gluten in the flour, which gives the rolls their structure and elasticity. Knead the dough for at least 5-7 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: After kneading the dough, place it in a greased bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
  • Shape the rolls: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape the pieces of dough into rolls and place them in a greased baking dish.
  • Let the rolls rise again: Cover the rolls with plastic wrap and let them rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
  • Bake the rolls: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Brush the rolls with melted butter and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Conclusion:

These best-ever rolls are soft, fluffy, and delicious. They are perfect for any occasion, from a weeknight dinner to a holiday feast. With a few simple tips, you can make these rolls at home and impress your family and friends.
