These are amazingly soft dinner rolls! They need everyday ingredients and are easy! You can use this dough to make pizza, burger buns, cheesy garlic dinner rolls, naan and more!

The key to making soft dinner rolls is patience. You have to let the dough rise for the time. The following are my secrets to get the best pillowy dinner rolls. You need a moist dough with moisture from water/milk as well as oil/fat. I add a mix of extra virgin olive oil and vegan butter to the dough for these dinner rolls, because the combination gives them a nice flavor as well as texture. I also add some vegan yogurt to add more moisture and softness to the final product. If you don’t have vegan yogurt, you can use some non-dairy cream or coconut cream instead.

I also add a bit of baking powder to help give even more lift as they bake. The rise from the yeast and from the baking powder happen at different times. Together, they make the most fluffy, pillowy dinner rolls EVER! For a whole wheat version see these dinner rolls.

Indian-inspired Masala Vegetable Pot Pie

This veggie pot pie has all things I love: creamy, spiced sauce; loads of veggies and greens; and it’s topped with crisp, flaky biscuity puff pastry.

It is so easy to put together. The sauce comes together really quickly in a blender. Then, chop your veggies or use frozen vegetables for an even easier pot pie. Top with your favorite made-ahead biscuit dough or puff pastry sheets cut into rounds.

The hardest part about making this veggie pot pie is waiting to devour it as it bakes. It makes the house smell so amazing!

The masala cream is a simple blender sauce with cashews, non dairy milk, and spices, and it’s super versatile. You can use it to make a white sauce curry, bring to a boil to thicken, and add roasted veggies, baked tofu, baked veggie balls, chickpeas, cooked soy curls, etc.

You can also make this casserole into individual portions in small ramekins with a biscuit on each. Just bake for less time.

No matter how you make this, it’s an easy, crowd pleasing, fun pot pie casserole.
