Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1.5 cups Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, and mix until a dough forms.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 6

While the dough is rising, prepare the dairy-free cheesy mixture. In a small bowl, whisk together the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, and unsweetened almond milk until smooth.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and roll it out into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface.

Step 8

Spread the nutritional yeast mixture evenly over the surface of the rolled out dough.

Step 9

Roll the dough tightly into a log from the long side, and then cut the log into 2-inch slices.

Step 10

Place the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each slice.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top of the bread.

Step 13

Let the dairy-free cheesy bread cool for a few minutes before serving.
