VEGAN CLOUD BREAD RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the yeast and a pinch of sugar. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of warm water over the yeast mixture while turning the bowl so it stirs itself. Rest for 5 minutes, or until the yeast has bloomed and is bubbly, then add 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil.
• In a separate medium bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of melted coconut oil, the remaining 3 tablespoons of warm water, and the baking powder.
• In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups (385 g) of flour, the table salt, and remaining ½ cup (110 g) of granulated sugar. While stirring, add the coconut oil and yeast mixtures to the dry ingredients and combine with a spoon. Once the dough is smooth, gradually add up to 1 cup (125 g) of flour and incorporate by kneading the dough with your hands (you may not need all of the flour).
• Knead until the dough isn’t sticking to the sides of the bowl, then transfer to a large bowl greased with coconut oil. Cover with a damp towel and let rest on the counter for 2 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size.
• Punch down the dough and turn out onto a floured workspace. Knead gently to get out any large air bubbles, and form into a log shape. Depending on the braid you are planning to do, cut the dough into the appropriate amount of even pieces.
• Braid into desired shape (braiding options below) and transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with a damp towel and let rise again for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
• Lightly brush the challah with melted coconut oil for a nice shine and bake for 25-30 minutes, brushing with more coconut oil halfway through, until golden brown. To check for doneness try knocking on the bottom of the bread. If it sounds hollow, it’s done!
• Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Mix the plant milk and cider vinegar together in a jug, then set aside for 30 mins. Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and line a baking sheet with baking parchment.
• Combine both flours, 1 tsp salt and baking soda in a large bowl, then pour over the plant-milk mixture and stir to combine. Bring together into a dough using your hands, then form into a ball. If the ball is very sticky, lightly flour your hands to make it easier to handle. Place the dough ball onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten slightly into a thick disc using your hands. Cut a deep cross into the centre using a serrated knife, then sprinkle over the oats and bake for 35-40 mins until the base sounds hollow when tapped. Leave on the baking sheet for 5 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.
