There's something truly magical about the smell of freshly baked bread wafting through the kitchen, isn't there?
I remember my grandmother used to make dinner rolls every Sunday for family gatherings, and the whole house would feel like a warm hug.
This recipe is my homage to those cozy memories, and I find that these rolls are not just a side; they’re a little piece of love you can share with your family and friends.
My secret?
A touch of maple syrup for a hint of sweetness that makes them irresistible!

Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using all-purpose flour for its versatility, but you can substitute some whole wheat flour for extra nutrition. Just keep in mind that the rolls might be a bit denser. Nutritional yeast is a little secret of mine; it adds a cheesy flavor without any unsweetened almond milk, perfect for those who miss that taste!
Tips & Notes
- •I keep my rolls in a cloth bag to keep them soft and fresh for longer.
- •If you want to get fancy, brush the tops with a bit of vegan vegan butter right after they come out of the oven.
Recipe Variations
- •I sometimes add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the dough for an extra flavor punch.
- •For a touch of sweetness, mix in some dried cranberries or chopped nuts.
Storage & Freezing
Store leftover rolls in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage; just pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to warm them up when you’re ready to eat!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough, let it rise, then shape the rolls and refrigerate them overnight. Just bring them back to room temp before baking.
What if I don't have instant yeast?
No worries! You can use active dry yeast; just activate it in the warm water with a bit of sugar for about 10 minutes before adding to the mixture.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and maple syrup. Sprinkle the instant yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- 2
Once the yeast is frothy, add the olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and nutritional yeast (if using). Mix well.
- 3
Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a dough begins to form. You might not need all the flour, so keep an eye on the texture.
- 4
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. It should be slightly tacky but not sticky.
- 5
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until doubled in size.
- 6
Once risen, punch the dough down gently and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide it into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
- 7
Place the balls in a greased baking dish or on a lined baking sheet, making sure they’re close but not touching. Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- 8
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they’re golden brown on top.
- 9
Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy these warm with a drizzle of olive oil or your favorite vegan vegan butter!
