Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour (260g)
  • ¾ tsp baking soda (5g)
  • ½ tsp table salt or 3/4 tsp kosher salt (3g)
  • 1 tbsp whole fennel seeds (6g *optional)
  • 1 cup homemade soy milk (240g *can sub with any milk of your choice)
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar or apple cider vinegar (15g)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, and fennel seeds with a fork.
  2. Pour the vinegar and soy milk into the flour mixture. Mix thoroughly with fork. Don't overmix; the dough should be quite lumpy.
  3. Turn dough out onto a clean working surface dusted with flour. Pat dough into a rough rectangular shape, then fold one side over the other to form a square. Pat into a round boule. (See step-by-step-process pictures.)
  4. Bake at 375 °F, uncovered, for 35–40 minutes.
  5. Break into the bread and serve while hot! Unlike yeast breads, you don't have to wait for soda bread to cool before eating.
