Vegan Buckwheat Rolls are a wholesome and hearty option, perfect for anyone looking to add more whole grains to their diet. These rolls are made with buckwheat flour, which gives them a unique, slightly nutty flavor and a dense texture that’s both satisfying and nourishing. They’re a great way to elevate your bread game while staying true to a plant-based lifestyle.
I love making these rolls when I want something comforting yet nutritious. They’re especially wonderful during the colder months, paired with a warm bowl of soup or a salad. The earthy flavor of the buckwheat combined with a hint of sweetness makes these rolls a hit in my household, and they’ve become a staple in our weekly meal rotation.
Recipe Details
- Cuisine: European
- Servings: 8 rolls
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cooking Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes (including rise time)
Ingredients
- 1 cup buckwheat flour
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar or any preferred sweetener
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm water
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds (optional, for added crunch)
Equipment/Utensils
- Large mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Wooden spoon or spatula
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Clean kitchen towel
Preparation Steps
- Activate the Yeast: In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
- Mix the Dough: Add the coconut sugar, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar to the yeast mixture. Gradually mix in the buckwheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt. Stir until a soft dough forms.
- Knead and Rise: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough back in the bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Shape the Rolls: After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a roll and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for another 15-20 minutes.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake the Rolls: If desired, brush the tops of the rolls with a little olive oil and sprinkle with sunflower seeds. Bake for 18-20 minutes until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with a spread of vegan butter or your favorite plant-based topping.
