Golden Herb & Garlic Vegan Yeast Rolls

By -

 

These Golden Herb & Garlic Vegan Yeast Rolls are incredibly soft, pillowy, and tender. Made without soy, dairy, or commercial eggs, this recipe relies on warm oat milk (or almond milk), extra virgin olive oil, and a touch of date syrup to feed the yeast and achieve an airy, golden pull-apart crumb.


Ingredients

Yeast & Liquids

  • 1 cup (240ml) warm plain oat milk or almond milk (105°F–110°F)
  • 2 1/4 tsp (1 packet / 7g) instant or active dry yeast
  • 2 tbsp Medjool date syrup or agave nectar
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Dough & Dry Base

  • 3 to 3 1/4 cups (360g–390g) unbleached bread flour or all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp vital wheat gluten (optional, for extra fluffiness)
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt

Herb & Garlic Finishing Wash

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (divided)
  • 1 tsp date syrup (mixed with 1 tbsp oil for pre-bake glaze)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried parsley or thyme
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Activate Yeast: Whisk warm oat milk, date syrup, and yeast in a bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  • Mix Dough: Stir in 3 tbsp olive oil, fine sea salt, vital wheat gluten, and 2 1/2 cups flour. Gradually add remaining flour (2 tbsp at a time) until a soft dough ball forms.
  • Knead: Knead by hand or mixer for 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • First Rise: Place dough in a oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm spot for 60 minutes (until doubled in size).
  • Shape Rolls: Lightly oil an 8x11 or 9x13-inch pan. Punch down dough, divide into 12 equal pieces, roll each into a tight ball, and place in the pan.
  • Second Rise: Cover pan loosely and let rise for 35–45 minutes until puffy and touching. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Glaze & Bake: Whisk 1 tbsp olive oil with 1 tsp date syrup. Brush gently over the tops. Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden brown.
  • Finish & Serve: Mix remaining 1 tbsp olive oil with garlic powder, dried herbs, and sea salt. Brush over hot rolls immediately after taking them out of the oven. Enjoy!

Every Sabbath morning across the nation, thousands of Hebrews wake up, load their families into automobiles, and hit the interstate, or take public transit across town. They pay tolls, pre-fuel up at gas stations, cross multiple county lines, and trek 15, 20, or 30 miles to sit in rented storefronts, community centers, or camp headquarters to attend worship services. They spend 4 to 6 hours listening to lectures, eat a potluck meal, socialize in corridors, and turn around to drive all the way back home by sunset. And as they navigate weekend highway traffic, they look in the rearview mirror and whisper a pious lie: "We are keeping the Sabbath. We are attending a Holy Convocation." It is a complete, unadulterated delusion. You have taken a day designed by the Creator for total local cessation, household rest, and boundary restraint, and turned it into a high-stress, transit-heavy weekly expedition under foreign infrastructure. You took Sunday church culture, slapped fringes on...

We have guarded our mornings, our speech, our tables, and our night watches. Now, in the tenth month of our journey, we turn our attention to the physical space where we dwell. Faith is not an abstract concept that lives only in our minds; it manifests in our surroundings. Our homes are meant to be sanctuaries, places set apart from the confusion, noise, and spiritual noise of the outer world. Yet, without realizing it, we often allow our living spaces to accumulate clutter that drains our energy, steals our time, and pulls our hearts away from the Creator. This month, we perform a deep physical and spiritual audit: The Cleanse of the Home. 1. TIME THIEVES Entertainment & infinite loops 2. WEALTH TRAPS Items feeding vanity or status 3. SHADOW OBJECTS Reminders of past compromises The Concept of the Idol When we think of idols, we often imagine ancient statues of stone or wood. But in its true essence, an idol is anything that takes the devotion, time, attention, or trust that belon...
