Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 350 g Wholemeal flour
- 50 g All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Brown sugar
- 250 ml Oat milk (or other plant-based milk)
- 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp Rolled oats (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and lightly grease a loaf tin or baking sheet.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the wholemeal flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar. Stir to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a small bowl, mix the oat milk and apple cider vinegar together. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes. This will create a vegan buttermilk substitute.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and slowly pour in the vegan buttermilk mixture. Use a wooden spoon to stir until it forms a sticky dough. Take care not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf tin or shape it into a round loaf if you're using a baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle rolled oats on top for extra texture.
Score a deep cross into the dough using a sharp knife. This allows the bread to bake evenly and gives it a traditional look.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your vegan traditional Irish wheaten bread with your favorite spreads, soups, or stews!
