Step 1

Put a baking dish filled with water on the lowest level of your oven and preheat the oven to 392 °F (200 °C).

Step 2

Line a 9 or 9.5-inch (23-25 cm) loaf pan with parchment paper.

Step 3

Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. (Optionally, you can mix in bread spice, seeds and nuts).

Step 4

Add water, oil and apple cider vinegar and mix with a spatula or wooden spoon to form a sticky dough (you don't have to knead it).

Step 5

Transfer the dough into the baking pan and smooth it out (this is easier if you moisten the spatula with a little water). Sprinkle with grains and seeds as desired and cut the bread lengthwise.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack for 60 minutes (if necessary, repeat the cut once after the first 10 minutes of baking).

Step 7

Allow to cool completely. Then slice and enjoy with desired spreads (such as cashew cream cheese and chia jam) or serve as a side dish with a creamy soup or curry. Many delicious vegan bread topping are mentioned here!
