# What You'll Need:
→ Wet Ingredients
01 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk
02 - 1/4 cup vegan butter, melted
03 - 1/4 cup organic cane sugar
04 - 1 packet active dry yeast (7 g or 2 1/4 tsp)

05 - 3 cups all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
06 - 1 tsp fine sea salt

07 - 2 tbsp vegan butter, melted
# How-to Steps:
01 - Warm the plant-based milk until lukewarm (about 100°F). Pour into a large bowl, add melted vegan butter and sugar, and stir to combine. Sprinkle the yeast over the mixture and let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
02 - Add flour and salt to the bowl. Mix until a soft dough forms.
03 - Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
04 - Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
05 - Punch down the dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
06 - Cover again and let rise for 30 minutes, until the rolls are puffy.
07 - Preheat oven to 375°F.
08 - Bake rolls for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown on top.
09 - Remove from oven and immediately brush tops with melted vegan butter.
10 - Let cool slightly before serving.
