What could be better than freshly baked plaited bread on a Sunday morning? The smell wafts through the entire house and you can enjoy the first few slices while the bread is still warm. I love this bread on its own or with a chocolate or nut butter spread. As this simple vegan bread recipe only requires 8 ingredients, it is perfect for novice bakers!

Ingredients

for 1 piece

Yeast dough
550 g white flour
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
1 parcel dry yeast (approx. 7 g)
100 g margarine, soft, cut into pieces
2 ½ dl oat drink
To plait the dough
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp oat drink
¼ tsp turmeric

How it's done

Yeast dough

Mix the flour, salt, sugar and yeast in a bowl. Mix in the margarine and oat milk, knead into a soft, smooth dough. Cover and leave to rise at room temperature for approx. 1½ hrs. until doubled in size.

To plait the dough

Halve the dough, shape both halves into rolls (each approx. 70 cm long and slightly thinner at the ends). Place the two strands on the work surface in a cross. Fold the end of the lower roll from the top right to the bottom left. Fold the opposite end from the bottom left to the top right. Repeat these steps until the strands are plaited. Press the ends together gently, tuck under the loaf. Place the bread on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Combine the oil, oat milk and turmeric, brush the bread with the glaze and leave to rise for a further 30 mins., cover brush once more.

To bake

Approx. 35 mins. in the centre of an oven preheated to 200°C. Remove from the oven, leave to cool on a rack.
