Have you ever looked at a dough ingredient list and been overwhelmed? We wanted to make this vegan everything dough, to make sure that didn’t happen.
First, let us say that when it comes to baking and even cooking, dough can be challenging. It’s not something that a lot of beginner cooks and bakers even want to touch.
However, we wanted to end that stigma.
We created a delicious vegan everything dough that needs just 5 ingredients.
This dough can be used to create a variety of dishes from cinnamon rolls to pretzels, bread, pizza, doughnuts, and so much more.
It’s insanely versatile and you can let your imagination run wild with ideas. Of course, we’ll give you a few ideas too!
What ingredients do I need for vegan everything dough?
You only need five ingredients for this super easy vegan dough recipe.
The ingredients that you need are:
- Flour
- Instant yeast
- Salt
- Dairy Free Milk (we like Oat)
- Maple Syrup
That’s it! Can you believe that’s all you need?
What is the best flour to use for vegan everything dough?
We prefer using bread flour for this vegan dough recipe; however, all purpose or wheat flour would also work.
Even a mix of half all-purpose and half whole wheat will work with this recipe.
We cannot currently recommend a gluten free flour or mix at this time. We are adamantly working on creating a gluten free dough.
What is the best milk to use for this dairy free everything dough?
We prefer using oat milk in this recipe because of the consistency and taste.
You can use any non-dairy milk in this recipe. We do recommend that you stay away from strong flavors like coconut, banana, etc.
What is the best type of sugar source for this vegan dough recipe?
As we wrote the recipe, we used maple syrup. However, that is not the only source of sugar that you could use.
Regular vegan cane sugar could also be used, as well as agave.
No matter which type of sugar that you use, you don’t need to adjust any other ingredient amounts.
How do you make Vegan Everything Dough?
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, and salt. Then, add in the dairy free milk and maple syrup.
Using a spatula, fold until mostly combined. Sprinkle a little more flour if you need to not be sticky and form a ball.
Once your ball is formed, you will want to grease the same bowl you mixed in and place the dough ball back into the bowl.
Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let sit for 60-90 minutes in a warm, draft free place.
Once doubled in size you can use the dough to make a variety of different sweet and savory dishes. See below for more options.
Can I prep this vegan everything dough ahead?
Yes! You sure can!
Once your bowl is covered, you can place the bowl in the fridge up to 2 days before you plan to use it.
Just make the recipe as written, cover and place in fridge until ready to use.
Can I freeze this vegan dough recipe?
Yes! Make the recipe all the way through rising. Then, once it has doubled in size, you can place in a ziplock bag and place in the freezer for up to 3 months.
To use, let set in the fridge overnight until thawed.
Is this vegan dough Top 8 Allergen Free?
Unfortunately, at the time, we cannot recommend using a gluten free flour with this recipe. Please know that we are working on a gluten free dough, but it’s just not quite there yet.
Otherwise, as long as you use a safe dairy free milk, (like we said Oat is our favorite) then you will be all set.
What could I use vegan dough to make?
The possibilities are really endless for this dough. Some recipes that we have created are:
- Vegan Raspberry Cinnamon Rolls or Vegan Blueberry Cinnamon Rolls
- Vegan Cinnamon Pull Apart Bread (some places call this Monkey Bread)
- Easy Vegan Soft Pretzel Bites
- Walnut Meat Skillet Pizza
- Vegan Chimichurri Monkey Bread
- Vegan Sticky Buns
- Easy Vegan Garlic Knots
- Chocolate Vegan Babka

So far I have made a loaf of bread and cinnamon rolls and both came out fantastic!! Love this recipe and looking forward to trying more things with it!
So glad that you are enjoying it!
fantastic! made today when my boyfriend suddenly wanted pizza. used a sprouted spelt flour and agave. Supreme outcome. thanks guys! always a winner
So glad it was a hit Joanne!
I just tried this recipe with a mix of wholewheat (1 cup) and plain bread flour (2 1/2 cups) and the loaf of bread turned out well. My kids love it. Thanks for sharing it. Can I substitute some of the plain flour with rye flour? Just made another mixing – this time for a double batch! Thank you!
We haven’t experimented with adding rye, sorry!
If you add Rye add a bit at a time, maybe 20%. It can make the bread gummy if too much is in there. I most often put that amount or a bit more in many of my baking recipes.
I am so thrilled to have stumbled upon this recipe. I love how simple the ingredients are! I used this dough to make babka buns, and the bread came out delightfully fluffy and soft. I can’t wait to use this dough to bake more things in the future!
We’re so excited to hear that it was a hit! Thanks for taking time to leave a review, we really appreciate that. Have a great week!
hello,
thank you for this recipe. I just wanted to ask how many g in 1 cup you are using? I am from the uk and we don’t use cups. I have googled cups in grams but it does have slight variations. I just wanted to clarify before I made this. Thank you again
1 cup is 120g
Is there a metric (grams) translation for this recipe? My problem with flour is that it tends to vary in weight from cup to cup and can make for problems when working with yeast. We have a household with very sensitive palates that are able to taste yeast with the slightest hint of too much or over proving. Thanks!!
We hope to have all our recipes converted to metric soon
I always use google to translate measurements.. Fast and easy
This recipe was great. I made baked cinnamon buns from this dough and fried donuts. Love this recipe so much. Thank you so much.
We’re so excited that you loved the recipe! Thanks for taking time to leave a comment, we appreciate that so much!
