Ingredients
- 160 ml unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon dry active yeast
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 320 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 110 grams vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon non-dairy milk
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken, forming a flax egg.
Step 2
Gently warm the almond milk to about 38°C (100°F), ensuring it is not too hot to touch. Add the dry active yeast and a teaspoon from the granulated sugar to the warm milk, stirring until dissolved. Let this mixture sit for 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, remaining granulated sugar, and salt.
Step 4
To the flour mixture, add the yeast mixture, softened vegan butter, flax egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until a rough dough forms.
Step 5
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 6
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and leave it in a warm place to rise for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Step 7
Once the dough has risen, gently deflate it and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan, cover, and allow to rise again for 30 minutes or until dough has increased in size.
Step 8
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Brush the top of the dough with non-dairy milk to give an extra shine when baked.
Step 9
Bake the brioche loaf in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. If the top starts to brown too quickly, you can cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
Step 10
Allow the brioche to cool slightly before slicing into thick pieces. Toast the slices in a toaster or on a skillet until evenly golden and enjoy your Vegan Classic Brioche Toast!
