Ingredients
- 480 grams all-purpose flour
- 10 grams instant yeast
- 30 grams granulated sugar
- 8 grams salt
- 240 milliliters unsweetened almond milk
- 60 milliliters water
- 60 grams vegan butter
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, melt the vegan butter over low heat. Once melted, set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond milk and water and warm them to about body temperature (37°C or 98°F).
Step 3
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Step 4
Pour the warm almond milk and water mixture into the dry ingredients, followed by the melted vegan butter.
Step 5
Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon or a dough hook attachment on a stand mixer until it comes together to form a rough dough.
Step 6
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes by hand (or 5-7 minutes with a stand mixer) until it's smooth and elastic.
Step 7
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it's doubled in size.
Step 8
Punch down the dough to release the air and knead it briefly on a lightly floured surface.
Step 9
Shape the dough into an 8-inch log and place it in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Step 10
Cover the loaf pan with a towel or plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise again for about 30-45 minutes, or until it has risen to just above the edge of the pan.
Step 11
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Step 12
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Step 13
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 14
Slice and serve as desired. This pain de mie is perfect for sandwiches, toast, or simply with a spread of vegan butter.
