Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup warm water (about 110°F)
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp unsalted plant-based butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1/4 cup milk substitute
- 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 2 tbsp egg replacer mixed with water (as per package instructions)
- 1 tsp natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Activate the yeast: Dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water with a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy to ensure the bread rises beautifully.
- Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and natural gelling agent. Add the frothy yeast mixture, melted plant-based butter, milk substitute, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and egg replacer. Stir the ingredients until a sticky dough forms.
- Knead your dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. This develops gluten for a fluffy texture.
- First rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Shape the bread: Punch down the dough gently, shape into rectangular loaf-sized pieces resembling Raising Cane’s bread, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Second rise: Cover the shaped dough and let it rise for 30 to 45 minutes for an even fluffier loaf.
- Bake to perfection: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the top with melted plant-based butter. Bake 18 to 22 minutes until golden and internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C).
- Cool and enjoy: Remove bread from oven, cool on a wire rack before slicing to set the crumb for a soft, fluffy bite.
Notes
- Use warm water at about 110°F to activate yeast properly.
- Knead dough thoroughly until smooth and elastic for best texture.
- Allow full rising times for optimal fluffiness.
- Measure ingredients by weight with a kitchen scale for consistent results.
- Brush bread with plant-based butter before and after baking for enhanced flavor and softness.
