What brands of bread are vegan?

Of course, be sure to read the ingredient list for any store-bought breads you buy. However, some brands that offer vegan and/or gluten-free bread options include Simple Kneads, Ezekiel, Angelic Bakehouse, Rudi’s, and Silver Hills Bakery.

What size bread pan do I need for this recipe?

For the best results, we recommend using an 8”x4” or 9”x5” bread pan.

Can I make this gluten free vegan bread without a stand mixer?

We don’t recommend it. Unfortunately, the ingredients just don’t get combined as well, and you run the risk of overworking the dough.

Can I make this recipe with a bread machine?

We haven’t tested it, but if you do, please let us know how it goes!

Can I use oat flour for this recipe?

No, oat flour will not work with this recipe, but it tastes great in our gluten-free oatmeal pumpkin bread !

3 teaspoons xanthan gum
1 1/2 teaspoons fine kosher salt

Instructions

Proof Yeast – Place 2/3 cup warm non-dairy milk (95F to 105F), active dry yeast, and sugar in a small bowl and whisk together. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes. It should start to bubble. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer bowl, whisk/sift together the flour, baking powder, xanthan gum and salt. Add the yeast mixture, oil and vinegar to the dry ingredients and mix well. Add 1/2 cup warm water until a soft sticky dough forms, similar to pizza dough. If the dough seems too dry (depending on the brand of flour), mix in extra water only as needed (2 Tablespoons to 1/2 cup should be enough).
Using the dough hook, knead the dough for 5 minutes in the stand mixer on medium speed.
If the dough is sticky, that’s ok! Place the dough straight into a parchment lined 8”×4” or 9”×5” bread pan. Spread dough in the pan with wet hands. (see notes blog for dutch oven option)
Cover the pan with a cotton towel and place in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size or about 70 to 90 minutes. It may take longer if the environment is cold or too dry. (See notes for tips.)
After the dough has risen, gently score the top with a serrated knife, dust with flour and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 35 to 55 minutes (internal temperature needs to reach 205F to 212F). If desired, brush the loaf with 1 Tablespoon melted vegan butter 10 minutes before done.
Let bread cool on the counter for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Alternative Method – This gluten free vegan bread recipe also works well using gluten free bread flour and baking it in a Dutch oven versus a loaf pan for a crusty bread to dip in soups, etc. You will need 330 grams (2 ¾ cup) of King Arthur Gluten Free Bread Flour. Omit xanthan gum. See blog post for detailed instructions. This recipe makes a smaller artisan loaf, around 8 large slices

Baking Tips – Use a stand mixer to whisk and mix all the ingredients versus by hand. It’s best to use an all-purpose gluten free flour without any thickeners (xanthan gum or guar gum) and control the amount by adding it separately to the recipe. Our Homemade Gluten Free Flour Blend can be used as a substitute for store bought all purpose flour. Each brand of all-purpose gluten free flour will bake differently. 1:1 gluten free baking flours do not work well in this recipe.
