Vegan Homemade Bread
I’ve been getting up much earlier in the morning in the last week. Its amazing how much you can accomplish before noon! Today I made some vegan whole wheat bread by veganizing (using rice milk & earth balance because that’s what we had in the fridge) a white bread recipe in one of my cookbooks. I used whole wheat bread flour, again because that’s what I had available. I was a little nervous because it didn’t rise as much as bread normally does, although that may just be because its only 20C inside the house (in fact, the furnace was on this morning!!).
I’ll be giving the second loaf to a friend today, because we don’t normally eat enough bread to go through two loaves in a few days. Worst case, I have to make a second batch…
Speaking of second batches, I made a second batch of garlic & dill pickles yesterday. This time I cut them into spears and they fit into the jars much easier. Now I have enough to give a few away as gifts!

When you use whole wheat bread flour, a bit of gluten can help the rise. To cheat at a warm temp. turn your oven on it’s lowest temp for 1 minute then put your loaf in… or if you have a pilot light, the oven is probably at a good temp already.
it looks scrumptious!
turn the oven off after that one minute BTW;)
