Crafted with simple pantry staples like all-purpose flour, sugar, and a hint of vanilla, this bread rises beautifully for a delicate crumb and golden crust. After baking, slice and toast as desired, then top with your favorite vegan spreads, jams, or fruits for a breakfast thatβs as satisfying as it is versatile. Easy to prepare and perfect for those avoiding dairy, this recipe is a must-try for fans of homemade bread and anyone seeking a luxurious, dairy-free treat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the almond milk, apple sauce, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well blended. Gradually add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing continuously until a dough begins to form.
Add the aquafaba gradually to the dough mixture while kneading. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, either by hand or using a stand mixer with a dough hook, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Form the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release excess air. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a loaf by stretching the dough into a rectangle and rolling it up tightly.
Place the rolled dough seam-side down in a lightly greased loaf pan. Cover it again with the kitchen towel and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Once ready, bake the brioche for about 25-30 minutes, or until it is a golden brown color and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice the bread as desired and toast to preference before serving. Enjoy with your favorite toppings or spreads like jam or vegan butter.
