Vegan Bread Recipe
Introduction
Bread is a staple food in many households, and for vegans, finding a good quality bread can be a challenge. Many commercial breads contain animal products such as milk, eggs, and honey. However, with this vegan bread recipe, you can easily make your own delicious and healthy bread at home.
Ingredients
The ingredients you'll need for this vegan bread recipe are:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups warm water
Instructions
Step 1: Proof the yeast
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently to combine and let it sit for about 5 minutes, until the mixture becomes frothy.
Step 2: Mix the dough
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture and stir until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 3: Let the dough rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, until it doubles in size.
Step 4: Shape the dough
Punch down the dough and knead it for a minute. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased bread pan. Cover it with a clean towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
Step 5: Bake the bread
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, until it's golden brown on top. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, remove the bread from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
