Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
  • 2 tbsp natural sugar
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup warm water (about 110°F / 43°C)
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp plant-based butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast: Pour warm water into a bowl and sprinkle active dry yeast and natural sugar on top. Let the mixture sit for 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes foamy, ensuring the yeast is fresh and will properly rise.
  2. Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Pour the activated yeast mixture and vegetable oil into the dry ingredients. Stir until a rough dough forms.
  3. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky but not sticky. This develops the gluten structure necessary for texture.
  4. First Rise: Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. Shape the Loaf: Gently punch down the risen dough and shape into a loaf or rectangle to fit your baking pan. Lightly grease the pan with plant-based butter.
  6. Second Rise: Cover the shaped dough again and let it rise for 30 to 45 minutes, allowing it to puff up for a soft loaf.
  7. Bake the Bread: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the loaf in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
  8. Butter Brush: While still warm, brush the top of the loaf generously with melted plant-based butter to lock in moisture and add rich flavor.

Notes

  • Use warm water, not hot, to activate yeast without killing it.
  • Knead the dough properly to develop gluten and achieve soft texture.
  • Allow dough to rise fully for the best flavor and crumb.
  • Ensure yeast is fresh by checking expiration dates.
  • Brush warm bread with melted plant-based butter for extra moisture and shine.
