Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (natural)
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups warm water
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted plant-based butter, melted
  • ½ cup plant-based milk substitute

Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast: Combine warm water and granulated sugar in a bowl, sprinkle instant yeast over the top, and let sit undisturbed for 5 to 7 minutes until the mixture bubbles and foams, indicating the yeast is active.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, salt, and the natural gelling agent to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Create a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture, melted plant-based butter, and plant-based milk. Stir with a wooden spoon or dough hook until a slightly sticky but manageable dough forms.
  4. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes to develop gluten and create a soft but resilient texture.
  5. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  6. Shape and Second Rise: Punch down the dough gently to release air bubbles, shape into a loaf or rolls, transfer to a baking pan, cover, and let rise for another 30 to 45 minutes.
  7. Bake to Perfection: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake bread for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped. Let cool slightly before slicing.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to help yeast activate faster and ensure even rising.
  • Allow adequate rising time to develop better flavor and a lighter crumb.
  • Sprinkle water inside the oven during baking to maintain dough moisture if your oven is dry.
  • Use an oven thermometer for accurate temperature to avoid dry crust.
  • Brush baked bread with melted plant-based butter for extra shine and softness.
