Ingredients

Scale
  • 300 g white bread flour
  • 200 g plain (all-purpose) flour
  • 10 g fast action/instant yeast
  • 50 g caster/granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 120 ml aquafaba (from chickpeas)
  • 200 ml unsweetened non-dairy milk (soy recommended)
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • 200 g vegan block butter or 160 ml mild olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp non-dairy milk (for glaze)
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup (for glaze)
  • ½ tsp sunflower/vegetable oil (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. In a stand mixer bowl, combine flours. Add yeast to one side of the bowl and salt and sugar to the opposite side; mix gently.
  2. Pour in aquafaba, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract; stir until a rough dough forms.
  3. Knead at medium speed until smooth and elastic; gradually add softened vegan butter or olive oil.
  4. Place dough in a covered bowl in the fridge overnight for the first rise.
  5. The next day, punch down the dough and divide it into six or eight equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.
  6. Arrange balls in a lined loaf tin; cover loosely and let rise until doubled in size.
  7. Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F while preparing glaze with non-dairy milk, maple syrup, and oil.
  8. Brush glaze over risen loaf; bake for 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 160°C/320°F for an additional 25-30 minutes until done.
  9. Cool in tin for about 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
