    Run out of bread? Got a hungry family to feed? No problem! A batch of these vegan quick dinner rolls can be prepared and baked in under an hour and enjoyed hot from the oven.

    These little dinner rolls are soft, springy and light. Perfect with a dab of plant-based margarine or vegan butter. Or dipped into tasty vegan stews and soups.

    The flavours of these little dinner rolls can be easily adapted and enjoyed for a quick breakfast option.

    Vegan Quick Dinner Rolls

    Three ingredients is all that is required to prepare a tasty batch of no-knead, no-rising, no-yeast quick dinner rolls! The ingredients are self-raising flour, plant milk and vegan mayonnaise. Although the self-raising or rising flour can be replaced with plain/all-purpose flour with 2 teaspoons of baking powder sieved through.

    Enjoy these bread rolls plain or jazz them up with your own choice of flavourings. My family particularly enjoy a few teaspoons of garlic powder, a teaspoon of onion powder and a pinch of salt.

    The aromas that escape when these little garlic flavoured dinner rolls emerge out of the oven will have your mouth watering in anticipation!

    One of my son's favourite breakfasts is to grab one of these quick dinner rolls that have been flavoured with a few tablespoons of vegan chocolate chips and a teaspoon of vanilla essence.

    The result is a tasty home-made alternative to shop-bought pain au chocolates although not as sweet as processed rolls but we prefer it that way.

    Recipe FAQS And Notes

    How do I store vegan quick dinner rolls?


    Dinner rolls can be stored in an airtight container, wrapped in food wrap, greaseproof paper or kitchen foil to maintain freshness for longer.
     
    These bread rolls can be stored for up to 3-4 days.

    Can these quick dinner rolls be refreshed?


    If your dinner rolls go a little stale just reheat in the oven for a few minutes at the baking temperature.
     
    Or drop baked dinner rolls into a soup or stew about 10 minutes before the end of cooking. These little rolls will heat through and soak up the stew flavours and be almost like dumplings.

    Can I freeze vegan quick dinner rolls?


    Baked dinner rolls can be frozen for up to 3-4 months. Ensure the rolls are in a covered container or are well wrapped. Add a little piece of greaseproof paper between each roll for ease of removing single rolls if necessary.
     
    Defrost at room temperature and reheat if preferred.

    Can I add extra flavors to the dinner rolls?


    Of course.

    Tailor these dinner rolls to your family's preferences and what your having for dinner.
     
    Ideas include:

    *garlic powder
    *onion powder
    *mixed herbs
    *nigella seeds
    *cumin seeds
    *nutritional yeast (a few tablespoons for a cheesy flavour. Especially nice with some onion powder)
    *grated plant-based cheese
    *vegan chocolate chips
    *vanilla essence
    *coconut flakes
    *chopped nuts
    *muesli
    * seeds
    *chopped fresh herbs
     
    If using a powder such as garlic or onion add an extra 1-2 teaspoons of plant-milk to avoid the dough becoming too dry.
