Run out of bread? Got a hungry family to feed? No problem! A batch of these 3 Ingredient 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, but they are not the same as dinner rolls prepared with yeast. Instead these quick rolls are more similar to a savoury muffin, scone, or American biscuit. These quick dinner rolls are perfect with a dab of plant-based margarine or vegan butter or pull apart the little rolls or buns and dunk them into tasty stews or soups.
290gramsself-raising flour[self-rising flour, or plain/all-purpose flour with 2 teaspoons of baking powder sieved through, and a few pinches of salt]
250millilitresplant-based milk[such as oat, soya, almond or your usual milk]
4tablespoonsplant-based mayonnaise
Instructions
Preheat oven to 160 Fan/180 C/ 355 Fahrenheit / Gas mark 4.
Grease your muffin tray with oil or plant-based margarine.
Mix the flour, milk, and mayonnaise together into a wet dough. The dough will be thick and sticky but should still be easy to scoop into the muffin tray using a large spoon and knife to scrape the dough into the muffin tray.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until risen, lightly golden, firm, and a skewer inserted comes out clean.
Enjoy warm from the oven or pop out of the muffin tray and place on a cooling rack to cool.
Notes
Nutritional information is provided for guidance only and is not an exact calculation as ingredients vary.
Quick rolls are at their best 1-2 days after baking.
Store dinner rolls in an airtight container or within a bread bag for up to 3-4 days. Wrapping in kitchen foil, baking paper, or food wrap can help preserve the rolls freshness.
Freeze baked dinner rolls for 3-4 months.
Stale dinner rolls can be refreshed at the baking temperature for a few minutes.
Add your own optional flavours to these dinner rolls such as mixed dried herbs, spice mixes, garlic or onion powder, nigella seeds, fresh chopped herbs, chopped olives, nutritional yeast flakes, chocolate chips, vanilla, chopped nuts, coconut flakes, etc. An extra few teaspoons of plant-based milk may be required if dry flavours [such as nutritional yeast flakes] are added just to loosen up the bread dough.
You can use any plant-based mayonnaise you like. Likewise for the plant-based milk.
If you would like to use plain flour, also add 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and a few pinches of salt.
A warm dinner roll is delicious warm from the oven, sliced in two, and buttered with some vegan butter or margarine, or your favourite spread.
These are quick dinner rolls that are perfect for bread emergencies, when you need something quick to go along with your soup or stew, or even something warm and home-baked for the kids breakfast! So these rolls do not require yeast, kneading, or rising. As such they are not the same as a yeasted dinner roll, bun, or bap. Instead they are light, fluffy, airy, & soft and more on par with a savoury muffin, scone, and American biscuit. Or a mix of all three!
