Notes
Recipe tips
- Weighing the ingredients will achieve the best results.
- Make sure that the plant based milk is at around 35 degrees C/95 F to allow the yeast to activate properly.
- This skillet bread also works with wholewheat flour, or a half and half blend.
- Instead of olive oil, you can use melted vegan butter.
- Store at room temperature, covered, for 2-3 days. Beyond that, you can keep the bread in the fridge for up to a week.
- To freeze, divide the bread into bread rolls and transfer to ziplock bags. Freeze for up to 3 months, allowing to thaw fully in the fridge overnight. You can also reheat in the oven for 20 minutes at 350 degrees F.
