Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups plant based milk
- 2 tbsp yeast
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 5 cups plain flour
- ¼ cup vegan butter melted
Instructions
- Add the plant based milk, yeast, salt, and sugar to a mixing bowl. Stir together, cover the bowl with a dish cloth and set aside for the yeast to bloom for around 10 minutes.
- Gradually add the flour around ½ cup at a time and mix it in using a rubber spatula. Once you have added all the flour, add the vegan butter and mix once more until thoroughly combined.
- Knead the dough using your hands for around 10 minutes, until smooth and stretchy. It should feel sticky, but not wet.
- Cover the bowl with a dish cloth and set aside in a warm place to proof for 30 minutes, until roughly doubled in size.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly-floured surface. Use your hands to stretch it out into a rectangle, then fold it in on both sides. Next, roll it up tightly into a log around 25cm in length.
- Lightly grease a loaf tin with butter or olive oil. Place the dough inside, cover and allow to proof for an hour more. During this time, it should roughly double in size once again.
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C/350 F.
- Bake the bread in the preheated oven for around 25-30 minutes. When done, remove the bread from the oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes
- Ingredient notes
- Yeast: if you want, you can use instant yeast and simply skip the blooming process.
- Plant based milk: you can use any milk variety of your choice, but avoid anything with an overly strong flavor, such as coconut. You can also replace it with water. If you're using inactive yeast, you need to ensure that it's at around 95 degrees F/35 degrees C to allow the yeast to activate.
- Flour: bread flour is the best option for a white bread recipe because it has a higher protein content, leading to more stability and rise. For a second best option, use plain all-purpose flour. I haven't tested this recipe with wholegrain flour.
- Vegan butter: you can also use olive oil or vegetable oil, but the flavor will be more nutty as opposed to buttery.
