Notes

  • Dough can be prepared ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days before shaping into rolls.
  • For a steam-cooked version, place rolls in a steamer pan and steam for 25 to 30 minutes; allow to cool before serving.
  • Adding 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum to dry ingredients can help achieve higher rise and better texture.
  • Use a plant-based yogurt or fruit purees like applesauce or sweet potato puree to keep rolls vegan.
  • Ensure yeasts are fresh and active for proper dough rising.
