Three ingredients is all that is required: self-raising flour, plant milk and vegan mayonnaise. 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 I prefer it that way.

How do I store 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.

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 quick dinner rolls?

Baked dinner rolls can be cooled, and 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.

These defrosted dinner rolls can be dropped directly into a stew for the last 10 minutes of stewing, which will heat up the bread rolls and the rolls will be almost like dumplings. So easy!

Can I add extra flavours 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 then an extra tablespoon of plant-milk should be used.
# If using chocolate chips, nuts, muesli, etc use 2-3 tablespoons, and add 1-2 tablespoons of extra plant-milk just to loosen up the thick dough slightly.
# if using chopped fresh herbs use a few tablespoons and only add an extra teaspoon or two of plant-milk if the dough is too stiff.

Once baked and cooled these dinner rolls can be halved and spread with peanut butter, vegan chocolate spread, jam, vegan cream cheese, hummus, lentil pate, or any of your favourite spreads. Ideal for a light lunch or tasty snack.

Once baked these dinner rolls can be halved and filled with sliced cherry tomatoes, sliced olives, thin slithers of cucumber, etc to create little dainty rolls that would be perfect for an afternoon tea spread or picnic.
