Attempting Vegan Bread!
My husband and I have been eating a whole plant food diet. I have really been enjoying trying new things. I think my kids are starting to enjoy it too. Trying new things means trying new recipes. When I look up recipes to try, I always type vegan because I tend to get more results than whole food recipes. My kids have been getting board with the typical "rabbit" cereal or fruit routine every morning. So I decided to look up some breakfast ideas for kids. In my Plant-Powered Families recipe book there was a recipe for french toast. This peeked my curiosity as french toast clearly has egg and milk as the main ingredients. I had everything but bread.
I decided to try my hand at vegan bread. I turned to Google. I typed in vegan bread. The first website, which can be found here, is the one I went with. I was very skeptical of this bread the entire time. It only has 4 ingredients. Anything with very little ingredients makes me nervous. I am always affraid they are not going to turn out. I did however, love the simpleness of this recipe. Just throw everything in the damn bowl and mix and done! Now that is my kind of recipe! After taking it out of the oven it looked to be ok! Since I made enough for four loaves, we decided to have a piece. Or two! The bread was actually better than we expected. We threw a little vegan butter on a warm slice and indulged a little. Why not?

Ingredients
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/4 cups lukewarm water
Instructions
Mix all the ingredients and knead by hand until a soft dough firms or put all the ingredients in a bread baking machine or kitchen machine and let the machine knead the dough for you.
Let it sit, covered unter a clean kitchen towel, in a warm spot until it doubles in size (about 1 1/2-2 hours).
Preheat the oven to 250 °C or 480 °F.
Cut the dough in two equal pieces and form the loaves.
Carve the surface of the dough lightly with a knife (I've made one long cut across the bread).
Then put the bread in the oven and take it out when the surface is golden. You can knock on the bottom of the bread and when it sounds hollow it's done!
Recipe Notes
How long the bread needs to be in the oven depends on the form you're making. Loaves need about 20-30 minutes, rolls 15-20 minutes
This bread was super simple and I would recommend trying it. I will let you know tomorrow how the french toast is! Have a wonderful night!
That is awesome. Healthy eating makes a world of a difference. I couldn't go all vegan personally but I do commend you!
Thank you. I never thought I could in a million years.
