Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups warm water (about 110°F / 43°C)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare the Yeast Mixture: Combine warm water, sugar, and instant yeast in a small bowl. Let sit for 5-7 minutes until frothy and bubbly, indicating the yeast is active.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, salt, and natural gelling agent to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Add vegetable oil, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar to the yeast mixture and stir to blend.
- Knead the Dough: Pour wet ingredients into the dry mix and stir until a dough forms. Transfer to a floured surface and knead vigorously for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Let Dough Rise: Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
- Shape and Second Rise: Punch down dough gently, shape into a loaf or rolls, and place in a greased pan. Cover and let rise again for 45 minutes to 1 hour until puffed.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Cool on a rack before slicing.
Notes
- Watch water temperature carefully to activate yeast without killing it.
- Allow dough to fully double in both rises for best texture.
- Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing and yeast activation.
- Brush dough with melted plant-based butter before baking for a golden crust.
- Store bread loosely covered to keep crust soft without drying.
