Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 4 1/2 teaspoons active yeast
- 1/4 cup agave or maple
- 1 2/3 cups water
- 2/3 cup non-diary milk
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) vegan butter
- additional flour, as needed
Instructions
- Heat the milk and water to 105-115 degrees in a saucepan. I suggest using a thermometer to ensure you don’t get it too hot. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the yeast and one tablespoon of sugar. Allow the mix to sit for 10 minutes until it becomes frothy and activates the yeast.
- Next, melt the butter and add agave.
- Mix in the flours, salt, and the remaining sugar to the yeast mixture and add the melted butter mixture on top.
- Stir well until a sticky dough ball forms.
- Take the dough ball out and place it on a floured surface. Knead the dough for 6 minutes by pressing the palm of your hand into the dough and folding it over on itself and repeating.
- Place a small amount of oil in a large bowl and transfer the dough ball to the bowl. Coat the top to the dough with a small amount of oil, cover with a towel, and place the bowl in a warm place for one hour to allow the dough to rise.
- After the dough has doubled in size, proof the dough or push it down to release the air. Cut the dough into two even sections and mold into a log shape. Place each section in a greased loaf pan and recover with a towel.
- Allow for the dough to re-rise for an additional 45 minutes.
- While the dough is rising for a second time, preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- After the time is finished, bake the bread for 35 minutes or until golden brown.
- Take the bread out of the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
- Remove the bread from the loaf pans and let them finish cooling on a cooling rack.
- Slice and enjoy your homemade bread!
