Ingredients
- All-purpose flour – 3 cups (for most loaf breads)
- Whole wheat flour – 1 to 2 cups (for hearty breads)
- Active dry yeast – 2 ¼ tsp (or instant yeast)
- Warm water – 1 to 1 ½ cups (about 110°F)
- Non-dairy milk (almond, soy, oat) – ½ cup
- Maple syrup or agave nectar – 2 tbsp (natural sweetener)
- Olive oil or melted coconut oil – 3 tbsp
- Salt – 1 ½ tsp
- Ground flaxseed – 2 tbsp (mixed with water to replace eggs)
- Optional add-ins: nuts, seeds, dried fruits, fresh herbs
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl – for combining ingredients
- Measuring cups and spoons – for accuracy
- Stand mixer with dough hook (optional) – for easier kneading
- Dutch oven or baking stone – for artisan-style breads
- Loaf pans – for sandwich-style breads
- Kitchen scale (optional) – for precise measurements
- Plastic wrap or clean kitchen towel – for covering dough
- Cooling rack – to cool breads evenly
Instructions
- Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm water, maple syrup, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Prepare flax egg: Mix ground flaxseed with 6 tbsp of water and let it sit for 5 minutes until gel-like.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flours and salt.
- Combine wet ingredients: Add the yeast mixture, flax egg, non-dairy milk, and oil to the dry ingredients.
- Knead the dough: Using your hands or a stand mixer with a dough hook, knead until the dough is smooth and elastic — about 8-10 minutes.
- First rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Shape the dough: Punch down the dough to release air, shape it into a loaf or desired shape, and place it in a greased loaf pan or on a baking sheet.
- Second rise: Cover and let it rise again for 45-60 minutes until it puffs up.
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake: Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Remove the bread from the oven, transfer to a cooling rack, and let it cool completely before slicing.
Tips & Variations
“For an extra crispy crust, place a small oven-safe dish filled with water on the bottom rack during baking to create steam.”
- Try adding chopped olives, rosemary, or sun-dried tomatoes for a savory twist.
- For sweet breads, fold in raisins, cinnamon, or chopped nuts.
- Use gluten-free flour blends to make these breads gluten-free — just adjust liquid quantities accordingly.
- Experiment with different types of non-dairy milk for subtle flavor changes.
- Use a bread machine for easier kneading and rising if you have one; check out our Bread Machine Yeast Free Recipes for ideas.
