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

Well, my first try wasn’t wonderful. I’ve been baking bread for years and I have to be honest this recipe scared me to death as it was nothing like my usual way of making bread dough( milk temp, kneading etc) and I think that got in the way of being successful. Going to try it again and make orange rolls this time so keeping my fingers crossed I get it right. Love you guys
Hi. Thank you for this. It is my first time making a dough and I am not sure if I’m doing it right. I used 3.5 cups all purpose flour but after mixing with spatula it is really sticky, so I tried adding another half cup. But… It is still sticky and does not come off my hands. I used agave nectar and cashew milk. I tried kneading it for 15 minutes but it still is sticky. Is it supposed to be really this sticky? Like it’s not coming off my hands and fingers 🙁 I watched the video but it seems like it’s not that sticky. When I formed it into a ball it seems like it’s not as smooth as in the picture or in the video. Please help. Thank you
Hi! Yes you start with the 3 1/2 cups and it will likely need more to not be sticky. Just keep adding a bit at a time until it’s not sticky!
This simple recipe turned out to make the best bread my family and I have ever had (and we love bread)! It makes a beautiful crispy on the outside but spongy on the inside loaf that is a joy to eat every single time!
So happy to hear that you loved it!
Hello, its pleasant post regarding media print, we all understand media is a impressive source of data.
Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s difficult to get that “perfect balance” between usability and visual appearance. I must say that you’ve done a very good job with this. Also, the blog loads super quick for me on Firefox. Excellent Blog!
It’s a pity you don’t have a donate button! I’d most certainly donate to this fantastic blog! I suppose for now i’ll settle for bookmarking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account. I look forward to new updates and will share this site with my Facebook group. Chat soon!
Quite cheap, very simple, little mess, and of course, dangerously DELICIOUS. My first attempt I went for just a basic loaf of bread. I used all purpose flour instead of bread flour and date syrup instead of maple syrup because it was cheaper and I already had it on hand. This will now be replacing my usual Whole Foods run for bread which usually runs me a $6+ tab at a time, that adds up after awhile so as a new vegan, and new apartment renter, this has saved me! Too bad I can’t post pictures of how good it came out.
Love it! So happy you enjoyed it
