Another few days of digging through the drafts and editing pictures.. It seems like my props and camera will be unpacked after everything else:).

 We hardly ever eat any White bread. Hubbs and me both like hearty whole grain breads. The closest we come to one is a sourdough. I had not posted a vegan White bread recipe yet, so decided to add one. The bread can be used as a base recipe and changed up to include other flours or cracked grains or seeds. 

 This Sandwich bread is easy, soft and delicious. It doesn’t contain any eggs or milk powder or preservatives or dough conditioners(derived from bird feathers) etc like the usual White Breads found in stores. The almond milk and oil are enough to add the moist softness to the bread. 
The key to a nicely formed dome and airy crumb is kneading. If you can, knead the dough for 8-10 minutes. The bread will bake great without that much kneading too, but the kneading helps with good gluten formation which helps hold the bread with all that air in it. 

 The bread keeps well on the counter for a few days. For longer life, refrigerate it in a zip-lock/air tight container for upto 7 days. You can eat it as is, toast it, make sandwiches, use it wherever you want, savory or sweet. For a whole wheat sandwich bread, see here.

 Makes amazing Grilled Sandwiches. like this Buffalo Millet Sandwich. Millet cooked in Buffalo sauce, peppers and creamy ranch, grilled up between 2 slices. 

 You can also make burger buns with the dough. Make 6-8 balls of the dough. Shape, spray water on top, let rise for 20-30 minutes, then bake for 25-30 minutes. Perfect for any grilled up burgers to serve this summer.

 Did I mention that as kids we used to love to eat the crumb and leave out the crust.(nope, bread wasnt available at homeeveryday. We would get one loaf a week.). To get us to finish our bread, mom made up a theory that all the good nutrients of the bread are actually in the crust, just like an apple . 😉

 It is getting warm finally in Seattle and that means some amazing fruits showing up in the market. Fresh and room temperature fruits are something I miss the most from back home. India being a tropical country has an abundant supply of local fruits all year round. And not just a few, there are several families of fruits that are available. Snacking between meals would be grabbing a couple of fruits. Things come full circle dont they. Eating more fresh fruits and veggies again now, after all the meaty and processed snack diet we had settled into after moving to the US. 

 In other news.
Elephants continue to be exploited on the streets of India where they are forced to beg on the streets, in temples and perform in marriages or circuses. Bijlee, the elephant, who hasd been worked for 50 years, who collapsed on the road recently, was left to die on the street. Even with efforts from rescue orgs, she passed away and her plight is now drawing national and international attention to the unfortunate lives of abuse, limited unhealthy food, no rest days of begging elephants in India. I hope, this movement keeps going just like the movement that was ignited by the beating video of Anne, the circus elephant, that led to a ban of the use of wild animals in circuses in the UK.

Vegan White Sandwich Bread Recipe

Easy White Sandwich Bread to make grilled sandwiches. Vegan Soy-free corn-free Palm oil free Recipe. can be made nut-free
Prep Time1 hr 30 mins
Cook Time40 mins
Total Time2 hrs 10 mins
Course: Bread
Cuisine: American
Servings: 8
Calories: 209kcal
Author: Vegan Richa

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (125 g) warm water
  • 1 Tablespoon raw sugar or 2 Tablespoons maple/agave
  • 1 Tablespoon active yeast
  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) warm almond milk or other non dairy milk
  • 2 Tablespoons oil
  • 3 cups (375 g) organic bread flour or all purpose flour or unbleached white flour (See notes section for 100% whole wheat bread)
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 teaspoon) salt

Instructions

  • In a bowl, proof the yeast by mixing warm water, sugar and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes or until frothy.
  • In another bowl, add the dry ingredients and mix well.
  • Add the yeast mixture, oil and warm almond milk and knead for 8 minutes into a soft smooth non sticky dough.
  • Use more water or flour if needed. I added another Tablespoon water. It will depend on the consistency of the non dairy milk and if you used sugar or maple syrup.
  • Spray water on top.
  • Cover the bowl with a towel and let rise for 1.5 hours or until doubled.
  • Take the dough out, punch it down and shape into a loaf, by rolling into a jelly roll or pulling on all sides.
  • Place in a greased or parchment lined bread pan. Spray water on top and then spray oil or dust with flour.
  • Cover lightly with a towel and let rise until doubled. 30-40 minutes.
  • Bake in pre-heated 370 degrees F / 190ºc for 35-40 minutes.
  • Remove the bread from pan. Cool completely before slicing.

Notes

For Whole wheat bread, using all whole wheat or a combination of whole wheat and other flours, use this recipe
Notes: I use a bowl which can accommodate upto 3 times the size of the dough, so the dough never touches the towel covering the bowl. If it rises and touches it, it can stick to the towel.
Spray oil on top or dust enough flour to keep from sticking.
Cover the top in the last 5 minutes with another parchment to reduce browning. Brush melted vegan butter after baking for softening the crust.

    absolutely gorgeous.

    I’ve baked a portion for 4 servings, following the recipe very attentively. it was an absolute success. SO happy, it is the very first bread I’ve ever made.
    Wish I could share a photo!!!

    So easy with very little active work time! Rose beautifully and has a great texture-the spongey feeling I want from classic white bread! Took 1 hour in first rise, 30 minutes in second rise, and 35 minutes to bake.

  12. 7 years later, the recipe is still good. 🙂 I used homemade cashew milk and rapid rise yeast, and the recipe turned out lovely! I’ve never seen a loaf of bread eaten so quickly. My 4 year-old son was eating slices plain. Thanks for the recipe!

    I have never baked bread before so wondering if there are certain brands of active yeast you recommend? I live in the US.

  15. First time to make bread at home, would like to know if whole wheat flour can be used in place of all purpose?

    I can’t cook worth a darn but thought I would give this recipe a try. OMG! It is delicious! Can’t believe I did not screw it up. Thank you so much.

  22. hi! this recipe looks wonderful. i just tried to make it, everything seemed fine and i followed all the instructions. however, my bread just didn’t puff up in the oven. it’s stout and not fluffy, but it is baked all the way through. it just so dense 🙁 this seems to happen a lot for me but i can’t figure out what it is! any advise?

    Reply

    • That might happen because of several reasons. Did the dough rise really well before baking? If it did that means the Yeast was working fine, else it probably died. If the bread doesn’t bother doing baking, then it will bake up dense as there isn’t the airy ness keeping the dough light.

  23. Hi Richa, I tried this recipe twice. I have never made bread before. I love the taste and the crust is amazing. However, it is super dense. It doesn’t have the nice holes I see in your picture, and it’s not spongy at all. I proofed for 2 hours first, then 1 hour second proof. Kneaded by hand for 15 mins. Hope you had some tips for a new baker? 🙂

    I made this exactly as written using Red Star quick-rise yeast and almond milk. It’s absolutely perfect! Thanks so much, Richa. Your recipes have never once let me down. <3

  27. I have brand new yeast but mine didn’t rise as well as the photo pictured here. It’s maybe half that size – 2 hours first rise, 90 mins second. My house was on the cooler side today – could that be it? Any other tips?

    • Feel free to delete this comment. I just tasted it and think I oversalted!! Will try again tomorrow. 🙂

    • Optimal yeast growth happens at around 37 degrees Celsius (98.6 degrees Fahrenheit), but dough will rise at any room temperature. I suggest rising it atop your water heater or refrigerator; or on a high shelf, on top of a heating pad set to low or close to a heat source. the first rise shouldn’t take too much longer than 1.5 hours. I hope that the next try works out – let me know.

    • it shouldn’t take too much longer than 1.5 hrs. It depends of the temp. of your kitchen and if you followed the recipe exactly.
