Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 250 grams
• Almond milk - 150 ml
• Coconut sugar - 30 grams
• Instant yeast - 7 grams
• Salt - 5 grams
• Vegetable oil - 30 ml
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Aquafaba (chickpea brine) - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm almond milk, coconut sugar, and instant yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until bubbly.
2. Add the all-purpose flour, salt, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and aquafaba to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
5. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
6. After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a small ball.
7. Place the dough balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving space between them. Cover and let rise for another 15 minutes.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
