Vegan Honey Wheat Rolls
Vegan Honey Wheat Rolls
Servings 6 small rolls
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 c Warm Water
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp Instant Dry Yeast
- 2 1/2 c Bread Flour
- 2 1/2 c Whole Wheat Flour
- 1 tbsp Cocoa Powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 3 tbsp Vegan Margarine softened
- 3 tbsp Molasses
- 1/4 c Vegan Honey Alternative
- Oats for topping the rolls
Instructions
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, add the warm water (not to hot or it will kill the yeast), the sugar and yeast. Allow to sit for 5 minutes or until bubbly.
- Whisk together the flours, cocoa powder and salt. Add to the yeast mixture.
- Finally, add the softened vegan margarine, molasses and vegan honey alternative. Mix and allow to knead until a smooth dough is formed. NOTE: If you have a small mixer, I would recommend doing this in two batches or the motor may not be able to handle it. It is a dense dough.
- Grease a bowl with oil, add the dough and toss til coated and cover, allowing to sit in a warm place for about an hour or until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Divide the dough into six equal pieces and shape into balls or mini loaves.
- Spritz or brush the tops with water and sprinkle on old fashioned oats for decoration.
- Bake for 25-35 minutes depending on the size and shape f your loaves. You'll know they are done when you tap the bottoms and you get a hollow sound. Allow to cool and spread with vegan margarine.
Notes
Most home stand mixers will only accommodate half of this recipe. It's a dense dough and will strain the motor if you try to mix the full recipe in something like a 4 1/2 quart or smaller mixer. You could also half this recipe.
