Heat the water until lukewarm. The water should be lukewarm and should not burn when touched. Filter or sift the flour in a stand mixer. Add the yeast, salt, and sugar. Mix well with the stand mixer. Then add the water and 2 Tbsp. of the soft vegan butter. Set a timer to 12 minutes.
Continue mixing the dough on the number 2 speed. Then add 2 tablespoon of the vegan butter when the timer reaches 4 minutes and again when the timer reaches 8 minutes. Knead in the machine until the timer goes off.Using a large shallow bowl, add 1 tsp. oil (olive oil or avocado oil) and spread evenly. Transfer the dough to a cleaned bowl and cover it with a clean towel and let rise for 1 hour in a warm location, or until the dough has doubled in size.
Flour a clean surface, punch a whole in the middle of the dough, and transfer the dough to the floured surface. Lightly press down onto the dough and shape it into a 12" square diameter.Line a baking dish with parchment paper, pull out a small amount of dough (My dough was 1.25 ounces in weight), shape it into a ball and roll it on a circular motion on a flour surface in a circular motion. Then roll it into a small log. Place the dough on the lined baking dish about ½ inch apart. Repeat the steps until you have used all of the dough. Cover the dough with a clean towel. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 45 minutes. After the dough has risen, preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Bake the bread for 18 minutes in the oven at 325°. Base with melted vegan butter and enjoy.
