The perfect buttery homemade garlic rolls you’ll make this holiday season, with crispy edges and a soft center.
What you’ll need?
-Whole wheat flour: I love using it as it has a milder flavor and offers whole-grain benefits.
-Instant yeast: just like active dry yeast, made up of granules; however, you do not need to activate it before it’s added to the recipe.
-Water: this is to get the recipe ingredients to mix well together.
-Plant egg: I’m keeping this recipe plant-based, so I used plant egg. Feel free to use one egg for this recipe.
-Vegan butter: for the sake of this recipe being plant-based, I used vegan butter.
Stuffing:
-Olive oil mixed with minced garlic and garlic salt.
Toppings:
-Melted vegan butter
-Dried basil or fresh
