Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2.5 cups bread flour
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1/4 cup flax seeds
- 1 teaspoon raw sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons active yeast
- 3/4 cup water
- 7-8 tablespoons vegan strawberry ice cream ((more for a sweeter bread))
- 1 tablespoon vegan butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Method
- Add the yeast and sugar to 1/4 cup warm water and mix well. Let stand for 10 minutes or until frothy.
- In a blender, dry blend the flax seeds and oats. You can use flaxseed meal as well.
- In the mixer bowl add the flours, salt and the oats and flaxseed and mix.
- Add in the yeast mixture, softened butter, strawberry icecream and half cup warm water.
- Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes, scraping sides every 2-3 minutes. add more flour or water in little quantities if needed.
- Spritz the top of dough with some oil spray. Place dough in a covered container in a warm place for 1.5 hours.
- Punch it lightly and shape into a loaf by pulling on all sides, or by rolling it out into a rectangle and rolling the rectangle from one side and tucking the other edge under.
- Place loaf in greased bread pan. Spritz the top with a little oil spray and cover with damp towel.
- Place it in a warm place or warm oven for about an hour.
- Remove towel, spritz top with some water and bake at 375 degrees F for 40-45 minutes.
- Remove bread from pan and let cool for atleast an hour.
- I usually refrigerate it for another hour before slicing. The breads are usually quite fluffy and soft and refrigeration makes them a bit firm for nice and clean slices!
