Recipe Details
- Cuisine: Indian
- Servings: 8 rolls
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cooking Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 2 hours (including rise time)
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1/4 cup plain vegan yogurt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- Melted vegan butter for brushing

Equipment/Utensils
- Large mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Rolling pin
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper

Preparation Steps
- Activate the Yeast: In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
- Prepare the Dough: Add the vegan yogurt, olive oil, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and garlic powder (if using) to the yeast mixture. Mix well. Gradually add the flour, stirring until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough back in the bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
- Shape the Rolls: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten slightly with a rolling pin.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Bake the Rolls: Place the flattened dough balls on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are lightly golden on top and cooked through.
- Brush and Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush them with melted vegan butter. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
