Ingredients
- 500 gram spelt flour (or wheat flour)
- 1 packet of dry yeast (or 20g fresh yeast)
- 250 milliliter lukewarm oat milk (or another plant-based milk)
- 50 gram coconut oil (melted)
- 50 gram applesauce (unsweetened)
- 1 pinch of Salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for a warm flavor)
- 50 gram raisins (or chopped almonds, optional)
- oat milk (for brushing)
Instructions
- Stir the dry yeast into the lukewarm oat milk and let it sit for 5 minutes until bubbles form. (If using fresh yeast, dissolve it in the milk.)
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and (optional) cinnamon.
- Add the applesauce, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
- Pour in the yeast mixture and knead everything into a smooth dough (about 5–7 minutes). The dough should be soft and elastic but not sticky. If needed, add a little more flour.
- Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead briefly. If desired, incorporate raisins or chopped almonds.
- Divide the dough into 10 equal portions and shape them into small balls.
- Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cover. Let them rise again for another 20 minutes.
- Brush the rolls with oat milk to give them a shiny finish.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) top/bottom heat (160°C fan).
- Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for about 20–25 minutes, until golden brown.
- Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
Tips and Variations
- Extra sweetness: If desired, add 1–2 tbsp of maple syrup or agave syrup.
- Glaze: For a festive touch, brush the rolls with melted coconut oil after baking and sprinkle with chopped almonds or rolled oats.
- Spices: Add cardamom, nutmeg, or lemon zest for extra flavor.
- Savory version: Omit the applesauce and vanilla, and add herbs (e.g., rosemary or thyme) for a savory variation.
