Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm water (about 110°F / 43°C)
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk
  • 4 tablespoons plant-based butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Instructions

  1. Activating the Yeast: Mix warm water with the sugar and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until bubbly and frothy to ensure the yeast is active.
  2. Combining Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the plant-based milk, softened plant-based butter, apple cider vinegar, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Add the yeast mixture to this blend and mix until smooth.
  3. Adding Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour, natural gelling agent, and salt to the wet ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon or a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook until a sticky dough forms.
  4. Kneading the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic for a tender crumb.
  5. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  6. Shaping and Final Rise: Punch down the dough, shape it into a loaf, and place it in a greased loaf pan. Cover and allow it to rise for another 30 to 45 minutes until puffed.
  7. Baking the Bread: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the loaf for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown on top and hollow sounding when tapped underneath. Let cool slightly before slicing.

Notes

  • Always use warm water, not hot, to activate the yeast properly.
  • Proper kneading develops gluten for a fluffy crumb.
  • Cover dough with a damp cloth during rises to prevent drying.
  • Allow dough to rise fully for best texture, do not rush.
  • Use an oven thermometer for accurate baking temperature.
