Brioche Vegan

Brioche Vegan is a delightful, fluffy, and slightly sweet bread perfect for a French-inspired breakfast or brunch. This egg-free and dairy-free version captures the essence of traditional brioche while being completely plant-based.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 250 grams
• Almond milk - 100 ml
• Coconut oil - 50 grams (melted)
• Maple syrup - 30 grams
• Active dry yeast - 7 grams
• Salt - 5 grams
• Ground flaxseed - 15 grams
• Water - 45 ml
• Vanilla extract - 5 ml

Steps

1. In a small bowl, combine ground flaxseed and water. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until it thickens.
2. In a separate bowl, warm the almond milk slightly (do not boil) and mix in the active dry yeast and maple syrup. Allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture, melted coconut oil, thickened flaxseed mixture, and vanilla extract.
4. Mix the ingredients until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
6. Once risen, punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf or individual rolls. Place them into a greased loaf pan or on a baking sheet.
7. Cover the dough again and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.
8. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the brioche for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
9. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
