In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm plant-based milk. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Add the melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
