Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Aquafaba (liquid from a can of chickpeas)
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, warm the almond milk over low heat until it's barely warm to the touch, about 100°F (38°C). Remove from heat.

Step 2

Stir in olive oil and sugar into the warm almond milk. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit until foamy, about 5-10 minutes.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 1/4 cups of flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture.

Step 4

Using a wooden spoon, stir the dough until it starts to come together, then transfer it to a lightly floured surface.

Step 5

Knead the dough for about 7-10 minutes until it's smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of flour as needed.

Step 6

Lightly grease a large bowl with vegetable oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat with oil. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.

Step 7

Punch down the dough to release the air. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 12 equal pieces.

Step 8

Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan, evenly spaced apart.

Step 9

Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise again until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.

Step 10

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 11

Brush the tops of the rolls with aquafaba for a golden finish.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden brown.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free classic butter rolls!
