Equipment

bread machine

Ingredients

¾ cup water
3 Tablespoons vegan butter
⅓ cup plant milk I used oat milk
3 Tablespoons agave
3 Tablespoons molasses
1¾ cups whole wheat flour
2 cups white bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
¾ ounce fast acting yeast see notes

Instructions

Melt the butter in the microwave for about 1 minute along with the water.
Add the cold plant-milk into the same container. This should cool it down enough so that it will be the right temperature for the yeast.
Add the water/butter/milk mixture to the bread machine inner container.
Add the molasses and agave.
Measure out and add the flours on top along with the salt. Sprinkle the yeast on top.
On my bread machine I set the settings to the white cycle, medium crust, and medium loaf. Please read and understand the directions for your bread machine.
Press start and let the magic happen! In about 3½ hours you will have hot delcious bread. Enjoy!

Notes

The cook time includes the entire time in the bread machine - including mixing, kneading, rising, and baking.

Use the liquid sweetener of choice. This recipe was developed using agave. I don't use honey but imagine it would work as well.

You may sub in melted coconut oil for the (vegan) butter. You will need to add a little more salt though - about 1/4 teaspoon extra.

For best results, when you measure your flour, lightly spoon it into the measuring cup and then level the top with a flat knife.

For best results, use fast acting yeast. 3/4 ounce is the size of a small package. This is the equivalent of 2 1/4 teaspoons.

This recipe was developed using a Cuisinart Bread Maker. I just bought it a while ago and love it! Make sure you read and understand the directions for the bread machine you use.
