Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Bread Flour – 3 cups
- Condensed Milk (plant-based) – 1/2 cup
- Vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce (natural) – 1 teaspoon
- Apple Cider Vinegar – 1 tablespoon
- Active Dry Yeast – 2 teaspoons
- Plant-Based Butter – 3 tablespoons, softened
- Plant-Based Milk – 1 cup, warm (about 110°F/43°C)
- Salt – 1 teaspoon
- Natural Gelling Agent – 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather and measure all ingredients accurately, ensuring yeast and liquid ratios are correct for the best rise.
- Add Ingredients to Bread Machine: Layer the bread machine pan starting with plant-based milk, condensed milk (plant-based), apple cider vinegar, followed by bread flour, salt, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), plant-based butter, natural gelling agent, and yeast on top.
- Select Dough Cycle: Choose the dough or basic bread setting on your bread machine and allow it to knead and rise the dough, which takes about 1.5 hours.
- Shape and Final Rise: Remove the dough once the cycle finishes, gently shape it into a loaf, and place it back in the bread pan or a greased loaf pan to rise another 30 to 45 minutes until puffy.
- Bake the Bread: If your bread machine has a bake function, bake the loaf there; otherwise, bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped.
- Cooling: Cool the bread completely on a wire rack before slicing to keep the interior soft and fluffy.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure even yeast activation and better dough consistency.
- Do not skip the apple cider vinegar; it balances pH and improves texture.
- Adjust dough consistency during kneading by adding a teaspoon of flour or plant-based milk if too sticky or dry.
- Allow bread to cool fully before cutting to avoid a gummy texture.
- Keep yeast fresh for best results; proof in warm water if unsure.
