The Adventure of the Vegan Dinner Rolls: Nora's Culinary Quest
Nora, a curious digital nomad with a penchant for vegan delights, discovered inspiration for plant-based dinner rolls while traveling through Istanbul. I stumbled upon a baker who shared my passion for plant-based cooking and had been transforming traditional recipes into vegan versions.
Back in my travel kitchen, I tested various plant-based milks and vegan butters. I encountered initial failures—dense rolls, ones that didn't rise, and batches that missed the mark on flavor—before achieving success by combining almond milk with vegan butter.
These Vegan Dinner Rolls aren't just a recipe; they're a narrative of adventure, resilience, and the magic that happens when we respect tradition but dare to innovate.
Let's get ready to roll!
For plant milk magic, you can use various options like almond, cashew, coconut, or oat milk. Just be cautious with rice milk as it can be too watery for this recipe.
