Ingredients

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1.25 teaspoons salt
• 1.25 cups warm water
• 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 2

In a separate bowl or measuring jug, mix the warm water, unsweetened almond milk (1/2 cup), and olive oil. Ensure the liquid mixture is warm, around 110°F (43°C), to activate the yeast properly.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the liquid mixture into it.

Step 4

Using a spatula or wooden spoon, mix the ingredients together until a dough begins to form. Then, switch to using your hands and knead the dough in the bowl for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for approximately 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to remove excess air. Transfer it to a lightly floured surface and divide it into 12 equal pieces.

Step 7

Shape each piece into a ball and place them evenly spaced on a greased or lined baking sheet.

Step 8

Cover the rolls with the kitchen towel and let them rise again for about 20 minutes, or until they have increased in size.

Step 9

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) while the rolls are completing their second rise.

Step 10

Prior to baking, gently brush the tops of the rolls with the remaining 2 tablespoons of unsweetened almond milk to help them brown and create a glossy finish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
