Quick and easy vegan crescent rolls with a hint of sweetness that require no yeast or rising time. These soft, flaky rolls can be enjoyed plain or filled with jam or chocolate spread for a delightful treat. Made with a simple combination of flours, vegan dairy alternatives, and baking powder, they're perfect for when you want fresh, warm pastries without the wait. Great for breakfast, brunch, or as a sweet snack with coffee or tea.

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the bread flour, 100g of all-purpose flour (reserve 50g for dusting), baking powder, vanilla sugar, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
  2. Add the vegan sour cream, soy yoghurt, and sunflower oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a cohesive dough forms.
  3. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Sprinkle your work surface with some of the reserved all-purpose flour. Transfer the dough to the floured surface.
  5. Roll the dough into a circle approximately 5mm thick.
  6. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the circle into 12 equal triangular pieces, like you would cut a pizza.
  7. If desired, add a small spoonful of jam (preferably heat-stable) or vegan chocolate spread to the wide end of each triangle. Alternatively, leave them plain.
  8. Roll each triangle from the wide end to the point, creating a crescent shape. If using fillings, be sure to seal the edges to prevent leakage during baking.
  9. Place the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
  10. In a small bowl, mix the water and maple syrup. Brush this mixture over the tops of the crescents.
  11. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  12. Remove from the oven and serve warm.

Notes

  • These rolls are best enjoyed on the same day they are baked.
  • For best results with fillings, use heat-stable jam that won't run during baking.
  • When adding fillings, be sure to seal the edges well to prevent leakage during baking.
  • You can customize these with different flavors by varying the extracts or adding spices like cinnamon.
  • If you don't have vanilla sugar, you can substitute with 2 teaspoons of regular sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  • If the dough seems too sticky, add a little more flour while rolling it out.
  • These can be reheated briefly in the oven to restore some of their freshness if you have leftovers.
