Add the melted vegan butter and fine salt to the yeast mixture and stir to combine. Add the flour in two additions, stirring after each, until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5–6 minutes, until smooth, slightly tacky, and springs back slowly when poked.
