Ingredients

For the dough

  • 4 cups all purpose flour flour (480g)
  • 4 tablespoon cane sugar
  • 2 ¼ teaspoon instant yeast (or 1 packet)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups warmed unsweetened dairy free milk, (temp should be 110˚F/43˚C) (360g)
  • 2 tablespoon vegan butter, melted, but not hot

For the vegan egg wash topping

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, add 4 cups flour, 4 tablespoon sugar, 2 ¼ teaspoon yeast and 1 teaspoon salt. Whisk the ingredients together.

    Make a well in the flour mix and then pour in 1 ½ cups warmed milk and 2 tablespoon melted butter. Use a rubber scraper to slowly mix the wet and dry ingredients together. Run the scraper around the bottom and edges of the bowl to pull the dry ingredients into the wet. Continue mixing until a cohesive dough forms. 

    Note: dough will be sticky

  • Next, knead the dough for five minutes. You can do this by repeatedly, folding your dough in the bowl using your spatula or turn the dough out onto a floured surface to do it by hand. Kneading this by hand, may require a little bit more flour added to keep the dough from sticking to your hands.
  • After needing for five minutes, shape the dough into a ball and place it into a lightly greased bowl. The cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
    Tip: For taller, tastier, lighter, softer and chewier dough, let the rest for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  • Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces (use a scale for accuracy). Shape into dough balls. Add into a greased 9x13 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˚F (190˚C).
