Ingredients

  • 500 g spelled flour type 630
  • 250 ml plant drink
  • 1/2 cube of yeast
  • 110 g plant-based butter
  • 90 g of sugar
  • 1 pinch of ground vanilla
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • ½ lemon (zest of the peel)
  • 2 tbsp soy drink (for brushing before baking)

Instructions

  • Warm up the vegetable drink and melt the butter in it. Let cool down lukewarm before crumbling the yeast in. Dissolve the yeast in the plant drink and add 1 teaspoon of sugar.
  • Set aside in a warm place for 15 minutes. After a few minutes, small bubbles should form on the surface because the yeast has been activated. (This is not necessary if dry yeast is used, just mix this directly with the other ingredients)
  • In the meantime, mix the flour with the sugar, vanilla, salt and zest from the lemon in a bowl.
  • Add the vegetable milk and yeast mix to the flour mixture and stir well. It is best to knead with a food processor for 10-15 minutes, kneading by hand also works of course. You need a bit of perseverance, but you can tell very well when the dough is smooth.
  • Cover the dough in the bowl with a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for 60 minutes. The volume should double during this time.
  • When the volume of the dough has doubled, knead the dough again briefly. For example, if you want to make a yeast plait, the amount of dough is enough for 2 small (each in a 20cm loaf pan) yeast plaits. For each yeast plait, make a plait from three pieces of equal size on a floured surface.
  • Grease the loaf pan, dust it with flour and place the braid in the pan. Cover again with a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
  • In the meantime, preheat the oven to 180 ° C.
  • After 30 minutes, brush the yeast plait with soy drink, place on the middle rack in the oven and bake for 30 - 35 minutes until it is golden yellow.
