Ingredients

• 400 grams All-purpose flour
• 7 grams Instant yeast
• 50 grams Sugar
• 7 grams Salt
• 120 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
• 100 grams Unsweetened apple sauce
• 80 milliliters Vegetable oil
• 90 milliliters Aquafaba (liquid from canned chickpeas)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix the almond milk, apple sauce, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well blended. Gradually add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing continuously until a dough begins to form.

Step 3

Add the aquafaba gradually to the dough mixture while kneading. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, either by hand or using a stand mixer with a dough hook, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Form the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 5

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release excess air. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a loaf by stretching the dough into a rectangle and rolling it up tightly.

Step 6

Place the rolled dough seam-side down in a lightly greased loaf pan. Cover it again with the kitchen towel and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once ready, bake the brioche for about 25-30 minutes, or until it is a golden brown color and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 8

Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice the bread as desired and toast to preference before serving. Enjoy with your favorite toppings or spreads like jam or vegan butter.
