A recipe by Julia Justus

Imagine it’s the weekend and you’ve been looking forward to a Netflix marathon all week. You’ve even invited a few friends over for movie night. But when you open your eyes on Sunday morning, a shiver runs hot and cold down your spine. The stores are closed today, and you finished the last bag of chips on the couch last night. A movie night without snacks?! NO WAY! You storm into the kitchen, frantically search your fridge, and finally, in the very back corner, you spot a package of ready-made dough that you bought a few weeks ago for emergencies.
Today is exactly that kind of emergency, and luckily, we have the perfect recipe for you: fresh, small garlic rolls straight from the oven. Trust us, your friends will love you! They’ll go “Ooooh! Aaaah! Mmmmh!” and you’ll have long forgotten your morning panic. Instead, you’ll bask in the title of Snack Royalty and from now on be the official Garlic Roll Commissioner!

These little garlic rolls were created as part of our mini recipe series with vegan ready-made dough. Easy peasy, made with minimal ingredients and maximum flavor. So no excuses, off to the oven!

Can I Make the Yeast Dough from Scratch?
Of course! With a little more time and patience, you can easily make the dough yourself. The upside: flour and yeast are basics that you almost always have at home. Our vegan yeast dough takes approximately two and a half hours and doesn’t need an overnight rise. If you start right away, you’ll definitely make it before your friends arrive!

What Else Can I Put in Them?
If garlic is too boring for you, you can of course fill the rolls with anything your fridge has to offer: tofu, onions, or small cubes of your favorite veggie. If you like it extra hearty, you can sprinkle some vegan cheese or vegan ham on top. Our insider tip for more variety: instead of plain vegan butter, spread our delicious tomato butter on the dough, mhhhm.

I Can Go Shopping – What Else Can I Make?
Is hosting your passion, and do you always greet your friends with a lavishly set table? How about our vegan aioli for dipping? Or you could serve a classic right away: vegan ham and cheese pretzel sticks. For the sweet tooths among you, we recommend sliding some wonderfully fragrant vegan cinnamon rolls into the oven at the same time. Not only does that save electricity, it also makes you happy.

8 knots

20 minutes

Ingredients

1 package for vegan rolls/buns (8 pieces)
4 tbsp vegan butter
3 cloves garlic
0.5 tsp salt
parsley for serving
olive oil for brushing

Instructions

Remove ready-to-use roll dough from the package and let warm up to room temperature. Using a rolling pin, roll out so they get bigger and flat. Using your hand, pull them apart until you can knot each roll.

Brush each garlic know with some olive oil and bake in the oven at 200°C/390°F for approx. 12 minutes until golden brown.

In the meantime, peel and chop garlic. Melt butter in a small pot and add chopped garlic. Fry over low heat for approx. 2 minutes until the garlic gets translucent and fragrant. Season with salt.

When your garlic knows are done, let them cool down a bit. Afterwards brush them with butter-garlic mixture. Sprinkle parsley on top and serve while they are still warm!
