Easy Everyday Sandwich bread. How to make Vegan Everyday Sandwich Bread Loaf. Dairy-free nut-free soy-free Yeast Bread.
You know what, I realized that I have not posted a regular bread in a long while! Every week I end up baking some form of bread .. mutligrain, fruity, experimental random ones,(see the faux sourdough gf bread picture on the FB page). A plain bread comes out the oven probably once a month, but never sees the camera:) This time though, it did get clicked.
One of these days I will take a start to finish picture set. I hope the camera survives the flour and dough smudges!
This weekend we did a ton of cooking, some Tempeh Makhani(Tempeh in creamy sauce, a mighter and less tangy version of Tikka masala. Tikka Masala), Yellow Lentil Daal with Brussels Sprouts, Dassana’s Kashmiri Dum aloo(Non fried and vegan version), Rice and Naan! Entertaining is fun, but now I have loads of leftovers:)
I made this bread a week back and finally decided to post it. Its a great Sandwich bread, with half whole wheat and half bread flour. Its not totally white and its not dense like a all whole wheat bread. The bread goes well with anything and everything. What can you do with it apart from the usual sandwiches! you can make these Samoa French Toasts!
Edit the taste to your preference, add spices, or herbs and a little more salt for a herbed loaf or some cinnamon and added sugar for a cinnamon loaf. You can make a white loaf by substituting the wheat flour with bread flour(add a bit more bread flour while kneading).

I’ve tried this recipe twice and it turned out perfectly both times. I used maple syrup becuase I didn’t have agave and brushed a bit of vegan butter on top once it was finished to make it nice and soft. Such a delicious and fluffy loaf!
Sounds spectacular. I’m so glad that you loved it
Hi, this is my go to bread recipe. But my bread always goes down after rising, even if I keep it only for 30 in summers or 45 min generally like you mentioned.
hmm. maybe there is more moisture in the dough. different brands of flours absorb liquids differently. Add a bit more flour to make a smooth soft but not sticky dough. Knead longer 3 to 5 mins, for better gluten formation so it an hold the shape.
hi Richa, I found your blog recently and I am in SERIOUSLY LOVE with it. Thanks for sharing recipes. I have a question about your everyday wheat bread recipe – Can we make this in bread machine ?
thanks 🙂
yes it should work fine in a bread machine.
