In a bowl, combine 1 tablespoon active dry yeast, 2 tablespoons sugar, and ¼ cup lukewarm water. Mix well and let rest for 5 minutes until the yeast becomes bubbly and foamy.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the activated yeast mixture and 3 tablespoons melted vegan butter.
3
Gradually pour in 1 ¼ cups lukewarm water while mixing until a soft dough is formed. Knead the dough until smooth.
4
Grease a large bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil and place the dough in it to rise. Cover with a clean cloth or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5
While the dough is resting, combine ½ cup vegan butter, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ¾ teaspoon dried parsley, ¾ teaspoon dried basil leaves, ¾ teaspoon dried oregano, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a bowl to make the garlic herb spread.
6
After the dough has risen, punch it down, and divide into equal portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball.
7
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Flatten each dough ball, spread the garlic herb mixture on top, and then fold the dough into a crescent shape or into a log shape. Arrange the dough pieces in a greased bundt pan or a round cake pan, forming layers with buttered sides touching.
8
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Brush the hot rolls with melted vegan butter and serve immediately.
