Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 220C / 200C fan / gas mark 7 / 425F. Dust a baking tray (I actually use a pizza tray) with a little plain flour.
  2. Mix all the dry ingredients together thoroughly. Add the oat milk and vinegar, and stir to combine.
  3. Keep stirring until the ingredients come together as a dough, then squidge together to form a ball.
  4. Place the ball of dough on your baking tray and cut a deep cross in the centre. This is really important as it helps the centre of the bread to cook properly – so cut nice and deep, almost to the bottom.
  5. If you wish, you can dust the loaf with a little flour and a sprinkle of oats, then place the bread in your preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  6. Serve with soup or salad or anything else you fancy! (And don’t forget it makes great toast the next day…)

Notes

  • Baking soda is the same as bicarbonate of soda, however it is not the same as baking powder. Make sure you use baking soda/bicarbonate of soda in this recipe. Baking powder will not give the same result!
  • Try to use a fairly neutral tasting dairy free milk such as oat milk, cashew milk, almond milk or soy milk. A strongly flavoured milk such as coconut milk will give this bread a coconutty taste! (which is fine…so long as that’s what you are after!) Of course if you don’t need this recipe to be dairy free / vegan you can use regular milk.
  • Use a fairly mild tasting acidic element – for example lemon juice, apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar – using something stronger, such as malt vinegar, will result in your bread having a vinegary taste!
  • Flour does vary in absorbency, so you may find if you add all the liquid your dough is too wet. To avoid this, add the liquid slowly and stop when the dough is soft and sticky but still able to hold a shape.
  • If you find your dough is too wet, add extra flour until it is able to hold its shape.
  • Suitable for freezing.
