In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture is frothy, indicating that the yeast is active.
In the same bowl, add olive oil, almond milk, and salt. Mix well.
Gradually add the flour, about 1 cup at a time, stirring with a wooden spoon or using a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook until the dough starts to come together.
Once the dough begins to form, knead it on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic. If using a stand mixer, knead for about 5-7 minutes.
Place the kneaded dough into a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a smooth ball.
Arrange the dough balls in a lightly greased baking pan, cover again with the kitchen towel, and let them rise for another 30 minutes until they have noticeably puffed up.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls for 20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your freshly baked dairy-free dinner rolls!
