Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Whole wheat flour
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 400 milliliters Oat milk
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the oat milk with the lemon juice and allow it to sit for approximately 5 minutes to create a dairy-free 'buttermilk'.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the 'buttermilk' mixture. Add the honey or maple syrup.
Using a wooden spoon, stir the mixture until it forms a sticky dough. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread tough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into a round loaf using floured hands.
Place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and, using a sharp knife, cut a deep 'X' into the top of the dough. This helps the bread cook evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
