Ingredients

Scale
- 1 1/2 cups organic whole-wheat pastry flour
- 1 3/4 cups organic unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- 1 teaspoon Himalayan salt
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
Instructions
- Add all dry ingredients to large bowl, adding the yeast last.
- Pour in water and wait a few minutes until the yeast and water start to react – it will start to bubble and fizz baby!
- Mix thoroughly with a spoon or knead with your hands. During this step feel free to add up to 1/2 cup extra flour, a little at a time until dough is barely tacky.
- Form into a large ball and cover with plastic wrap.
- Let dough rise at room temperature for a minimum of 8 hours.
- Once risen, place dough onto floured surface and with floured hands form the dough into a ball. Cover dough with plastic wrap or a towel and let it “rest” while the oven and pan heat up.
- Heat oven to 450°F and place empty oven-safe dish into oven while it preheats.
- With your oven ready and your pan warmed, carefully place the dough in it and cover with lid.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove cover and bake for 5 more minutes OR until the outer area is crispy.
- Remove bread from pan and let cool. I know this waiting part is hard, but you can stare at it if you’d like, willing it to cool faster. I promise the wait is worth it.
Notes
Sometimes I just use all whole-wheat flour or completely all-purpose flour, it just depends on what I have on hand. The big difference is how dense the bread turns out, with 100% whole-wheat flour the bread will be much denser than if you use a flour combination or use 100% all-purpose.
This vegan bread tastes amazing paired with this plant-based Classic Minestrone!
