Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 cup warm water (around 110°F)
  • 2 tablespoons natural sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: Warm the water to about 110°F and stir in the natural sugar along with the active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy, indicating the yeast is active and ready.
  2. Mix the dough: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and natural gelling agent. Add the activated yeast mixture, vegetable oil, and plant-based milk. Stir gently until the dough starts to come together.
  3. Knead for softness: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky. This develops gluten for the signature soft chew.
  4. First rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
  5. Shape the bread: Gently punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf or desired shape. Place it in a greased bread pan or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Final rise: Cover the dough again and allow it to rise for 30 to 45 minutes until puffy and nearly doubled.
  7. Bake to perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Brush the dough with plant-based milk for a golden crust. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
  8. Cool before slicing: Remove the bread from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing to maintain its fluffy texture.

Notes

  • Use warm water (not above 120°F) to avoid killing the yeast.
  • Knead the dough well to develop gluten for the desired softness.
  • Allow the dough to fully double in size during each rising for the best airy texture.
  • Brushing with plant-based milk before baking creates a golden, tender crust.
  • Store bread wrapped in a clean kitchen towel or airtight container to keep it soft.
