These rolls are soft, fluffy, and a great alternative to dinner rolls made with all-purpose or bread flour.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS RECIPE
- Perfect Texture – these are so soft and fluffy, you will shock yourself and others that you made these and didn’t get them from the bakery

- Prep Ahead – These can be prepped a day or two ahead of time and still have a deliciously fluffy texture
🥘RECIPE INGREDIENTS
You only need six ingredients to make these delicious vegan dinner rolls.
- spelt flour – has a higher protein content, as well as fiber. Since it’s an ancient grain, some people prefer this to refined all purpose flour
- instant yeast – We are using an instant yeast because we find that it’s easier to use for the everyday home cook; however, you can also use active dry yeast if you are more familiar with that instead
- vegan cane sugar – this adds some sweetness to our recipe; however, you can omit, reduce, or replace with something like agave, maple syrup, or coconut sugar if you’d prefer
- salt – salt not only helps with the flavor but also with the gluten structure of the rolls
- dairy free milk – we are using this as our liquid; however, you can also use water
- vegan butter – to add that perfect buttery texture to the top

Recipe FAQS:
You can use what you prefer. If you can’t or don’t like to knead by hand, a stand mixer is a great option to use. If you do like to knead by hand, then absolutely do that.
Clearly, these are best warm out of the oven the same day; however, these vegan dinner rolls are also great stored in an air tight container for up to 5 days. Warm before serving.
For soy allergies, make sure you use a soy free vegan butter. We like Earth Balance soy free. It comes in a red tub.
If you need to have a gluten free dinner roll, you can use our gluten free vegan dinner roll recipe instead.

Vegan Spelt Flour Dinner Rolls
Ingredients
For the dough
- 3 ½-4 cups spelt flour (350-400g)
- ⅓ cup vegan cane sugar (60g)
- 2 ¼ teaspoon instant yeast (or 1 packet)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups warmed unsweetened dairy free milk, (temp should be between 110-120F) (340g)
- 2 tablespoon vegan butter, melted
For the topping
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon non-dairy milk
Instructions
- In a stand mixer bowl or large bowl, add 2 cups of flour, sugar, yeast and salt. Whisk the ingredients together.
- In a small bowl, combine the warmed milk and melted butter. Pour into the dry ingredients and then turn on the mixer and combine until incorporated (about 2 minutes). If doing by hand, stir with a spatula until a cohesive sticky dough forms.
- Once together, slowly add in ½ cup more flour at a time, combining after each, until a soft dough ball forms.
- Knead the dough, adding more flour if necessary until smooth and elastic (about 8-10 minutes). It should slightly bounce back when touched. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes. *You may not use all the flour.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces, using a scale for accuracy. Shape into dough balls. Add into a greased 9×13 baking pan, seam side down. Cover and let rise in a warm location for 35-40 minutes or until doubled in size. While waiting for the rise, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, combine the non-dairy milk and maple syrup for the topping. Brush each roll with half this mixture after the rise. Place in oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven. Brush with remaining half of the mixture. Serve warm.
These are delicious!!!! Thank you so much for this recipe! I have tried other spelt roll recipes, but the rolls were dry and missing something I couldn’t quite put my finger on. These are perfect!
Yay! Glad you found this one!
Thank you for this recipe! I’ve made it four times now, and every time the rolls turned out perfectly. I’ve been on a wheat-free diet for nearly 40 years, yet somehow spelt doesn’t cause any of the problems for me that “regular” wheat does. So glad to have this easy quick yummy (and much less expensive!) alternative to store-bought spelt bread.
I’m glad you’re loving them!
Sounds yummy – will have to try!
enjoy!
I once purchased spelt flour years ago and didn’t quite make the best use of it. I am going to purchase some spelt flour and try this recipe. I also wonder if I can use spelt flour in your easy bread recipe? I have bread flour but I have been looking for ways to get more fiber in my daily eating regime.
Yes you can 🙂
