Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, warm the almond milk and water together until they reach 110°F (43°C).
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.
Add 2 cups of flour into the mixer along with the salt. Mix on low until the ingredients are combined.
Gradually add the remaining 1.25 cups of flour, continuing to mix on low until a slightly sticky, soft dough forms.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Cover the rolls with a cloth and let them rise again for about 30 minutes, until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while the rolls are rising.
For an optional egg wash, beat the egg and brush over the tops of the rolls for a shiny finish.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan for a few minutes before serving.
