Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml Unsweetened almond milk
- 10 g Active dry yeast
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 450 g All-purpose flour
- 5 g Salt
- 100 g Vegan butter, softened
- 5 ml Vanilla extract
- 1 g Turmeric powder (optional, for color)
- 60 ml Aquafaba
- 15 ml Maple syrup
Instructions
Warm the almond milk in a small saucepan until it's lukewarm (about 40°C). Pour it into a large mixing bowl.
Add the active dry yeast and 1 tablespoon of sugar to the warmed milk. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Add this dry mixture to the frothy yeast mixture, stirring until a rough dough forms.
Add the softened vegan butter, vanilla extract, and turmeric powder (if using) to the dough. Knead the dough in the bowl until the butter is fully incorporated. The dough should be smooth and slightly sticky.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
Punch down the dough gently to release the air. Transfer it to a lightly floured surface and shape it into a loaf that fits the prepared loaf pan. Place the shaped dough into the pan.
In a small bowl, combine the aquafaba and maple syrup to make a wash. Brush the top of the dough with this mixture to give it a golden color once baked.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and it sounds hollow when tapped.
Allow the vegan brioche to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
