In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt, creating a well in the center.
In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in the warm water and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is active.
Pour the yeast mixture, olive oil, and almond milk into the well of the dry ingredients.
Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients until a rough dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F).
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and turn it out onto a floured surface.
Shape the dough into a rustic oval loaf, and use a sharp knife to make a lengthwise slash about half an inch deep down the center of the dough.
Place the loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cover the loaf with a damp cloth and let it rise for another 20 minutes.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
