Ingredients
- 3.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 packet Instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 Egg, lightly beaten (optional for egg wash)
Directions
Step 1
In a microwave-safe bowl, warm the almond milk and water together until they reach 110°F (43°C).
Step 2
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the warm almond milk mixture with olive oil, sugar, and instant yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast begins to foam.
Step 3
Add 2 cups of flour into the mixer along with the salt. Mix on low until the ingredients are combined.
Step 4
Gradually add the remaining 1.25 cups of flour, continuing to mix on low until a slightly sticky, soft dough forms.
Step 5
Knead the dough in the mixer for approximately 8-10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, knead by hand on a floured surface for about 10 minutes.
Step 6
Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl and cover it with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.
Step 7
Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Shape the dough into a log and cut it into 12 equal pieces.
Step 8
Shape each piece into a ball, tucking the edges underneath to create a smooth top. Place the balls into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 9
Cover the rolls with a cloth and let them rise again for about 30 minutes, until puffy.
Step 10
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while the rolls are rising.
Step 11
For an optional egg wash, beat the egg and brush over the tops of the rolls for a shiny finish.
Step 12
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Step 13
Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan for a few minutes before serving.
