Virtual Vegan Potluck: Sage & Rosemary Dinner Rolls with Roasted Garlic Coconut Butter

Roll with Butter

Rolls in BowlWelcome to the Bread course of the Virtual Vegan Potluck!  This is just the beginning of some tasty carbs – both savory and sweet – here at the Potluck.  Thank you so much for being part of our delicious plant-based event.  I know you’ve already enjoyed lots of goodies – and there are a lot more to come!  Hope you left some room on your plate for a roll or two!

No doubt about it, I’m a bread junkie.  I love kneading, baking and especially eating it.  And I love these Sage & Rosemary Dinner Rolls.  Simple, elegant, easy to make and packed with summery, warm, herb flavor.  (If I’d included parsley and thyme I could’ve called these Simon & Garfunkel rolls…)  Inside they’re soft and fragrant; on the outside they have a satisfying and tender crust.  They smell so wonderful fresh out of the oven.  Serve these flavorful, healthy rolls alongside some not-so-healthy but mouthwatering Roasted Garlic Coconut Butter, the recipe for which you’ll find below.  It’s also easy to make and full of flavor; the perfect complement to the rolls.

Sage & Rosemary Dinner Rolls

  • Author: Annie
  • Prep Time: 120
  • Cook Time: 25
  • Total Time: 145
  • Yield: 12 1x

Description

Soft, fragrant dinner rolls with sage and rosemary that are paired with luscious roasted garlic coconut butter.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 tsp. regular yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 tbsp. agave nectar
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water
  • 2 1/4 cups bread flour
  • 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. minced fresh sage
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. minced fresh rosemary
  • 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the water, yeast and agave nectar. Set aside for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a smaller bowl, combine the bread flour, whole wheat flour, sage, rosemary, salt and pepper.
  2. When the yeast mixture is bubbly, add the flour mixture and stir until a wet dough forms. Add small amounts of flour – just until the dough doesn’t stick too much to your hands. Either knead in the bowl or on the counter for about 8 minutes. The dough will be very soft and should be smooth.
  3. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise for about 1 hour. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. When the dough has doubled in size, press it down to deflate and let it rest for 5 minutes. Lightly flour the counter and divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll the pieces into balls and place on the baking sheet. 12 will just fit. Using scissors, snip a deep X into the tops of each roll. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise for 30 minutes. (You could also make 8 rolls. They are perfect for sandwiches.)
  5. Preheat the oven to 350-degrees F. Bake the rolls for about 20-25 minutes, or until lightly brown on top and firm on the bottom. Cool rolls on a wire rack or serve warm alongside Roasted Garlic Coconut Butter.

    Great job with the rolls and butter! I messed my post up after all. I set it to auto- post this morning at 6AM, but it never posted. Checked it at 10 and I was totally let down. Just fixed it. Sorry- didn’t mean to break the chain. Not sure why it didn’t work.

    If this were a live event, I would leave with my pockets FULL of these. Then I would dump them in the car, pretend I forgot something in the kitchen, and fill my pockets again. Very well done- I hope ours look as light!

    Annie, you never cease to amaze me! That butter is blowing my mind right now and imagining it melted all over those gorgeous rolls is making me think I need to start carbo-loading! Because packing requires a lot of energy. Yes, that it… 🙂

    I think that I can effectively say that I’ve made it to drool level. Yum garlic coconut butter just sounds like something I want to spread all over a roll! these look so yummy!! now if only I could find a way to place all my nutrient needs into bread and simple eat that and these butters you make. then I would be on to something! Sage + Rosemary sounds heavenly those are some of the few spices I can hear and instantly smell like basil. Kay leaving your post now before I drool all over my keyboard lol. BTW you have done an AMAZING job setting all of this up. <3

    My turn to write, “I learned so much!” I love butter . . . and I love coconut oil, sugar, milk . . . now it time to bring the two together in a perfect marriage of deliciousness! I can’t wait to try this recipe out . . . how I miss butter!

    Much love, Annie. You’re a star, as they say in England. What a wonderful treat to have met you– and to have participated in your spectacular event!
