Parchment paper
Ingredients
4
cups
All-purpose flour
2 1/4
tsp
Active dry yeast
1 1/2
cups
Warm almond milk
notes: slightly warmed, not hot
2
tbsp
Olive oil
1
tsp
Salt
2
tbsp
Maple syrup
Instructions
Activate the yeast by mixing it with warm almond milk and maple syrup. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center.
Pour the activated yeast mixture and olive oil into the well. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a bread loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in the prepared pan.
Let the dough rise again for 20-30 minutes until slightly puffed.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
For a softer crust, brush the top with olive oil after baking.
