Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 cup Wheat bran
• 2 teaspoons Instant dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, wheat bran, instant dry yeast, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix the warm water, brown sugar, olive oil, and maple syrup until the sugar dissolves.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to form a dough.

Step 4

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 7

Punch down the risen dough to release the air and shape it into a loaf.

Step 8

Transfer the loaf to a greased or parchment-lined 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 9

Cover the pan with a cloth and let it rest for another 20 minutes to rise slightly.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Slice and enjoy your dairy-free homemade bran bread with your favorite toppings.
