This Vegan Soda Bread is one of the easiest vegan bread recipes to have on hand! It’s a rustic yeast, dairy, and egg-free bread that&#039;s super quick to make. No kneading or complicated shaping is involved. Enjoy it fresh from the oven, slathered with vegan butter!

Vegan Soda Bread

500 g / 4

all purpose flour

sugar

salt

1¾ tsp baking soda (, (bicarbonate of soda in the UK))

/ 120 mls natural vegan yogurt (, it must be unsweetened and unflavoured)

60 mls / 4 tablespoons melted vegan butter

apple cider vinegar

oats

Preheat oven to 400 ° F (200 °C)

Line a baking tray or a minimum of 10 to 12 inch cast iron skillet with parchment paper.

To a large mixing bowl add the flour, sugar, salt and baking soda. Give them a quick whisk or stir to combine.

In another bowl or jug add the soy milk, natural yogurt, melted butter and the vinegar. Whisk to combine.

Lightly flour a spot on your work surface ready for shaping the loaf and if you want to decorate the top of the loaf with a sprinkle of oats, have them, and a small bowl of water and pastry brush handy too. Don&#039;t mix up the dough until all of this is ready.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir them together with a spatula to form a shaggy dough. Keep stirring until it gets too difficult. If it&#039;s dry add a tiny drop or two of milk and stir until absorbed.

Turn the shaggy dough out onto the floured surface along with any bits that didn&#039;t incorporate well. Dust your hands well with flour and bring the dough together into a ball. If it is really sticky sprinkle on a bit more flour. Shape into a 7-inch disc shape about 2 inches high. It doesn&#039;t need to look perfect. The beauty of soda bread is it should be rustic! Don&#039;t take too long doing this. The quicker you are the more the bread will rise.

Once it&#039;s shaped transfer it onto the parchment-lined tray/skillet. Get your sharpest knife and wet it by either running it under the tap or dipping it in a glass of water, then slice a cross shape about ¾ inch deep into the top. In between each knife cut, run the knife under the tap to wet it again. It helps you get a clean, smooth cut without dragging the dough.

If you want to decorate with oats, brush the top of the loaf lightly with water then sprinkle the oats over the top. The water helps them stick.

Immediately put in the oven and bake for about 50 mins. or until a firm golden crust has formed and it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Once done, remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting.

This vegan soda bread is soft and delicious and one of the easiest breads you'll ever make. There is no kneading or yeast required, and it's ready in 45 minutes!

All Purpose Flour ((437 grams))

Tbsp White Granulated Sugar

tsp Baking Soda

Salt

Tbsp Vegan Butter ((30 grams) Cold)

Vegan Buttermilk ((360 milliliters) Lemon Juice + Soy Milk)

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). 

Add all purpose flour, white granulated sugar, baking soda and salt to a mixing bowl and whisk together until mixed. 

Add vegan butter and mix it into the flour with your fingers until crumbly. 

Prepare your vegan buttermilk by adding 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of lemon juice to a measuring jug and adding soy milk up to the 1 and 1/2 cup (360ml) line. Leave it for a minute to curdle into buttermilk. 

Add the buttermilk to the dry ingredients in your mixing bowl and mix in with a spoon until it starts sticking together and forming into a shaggy dough. 

Flour a surface and your hands and pour the shaggy dough and any flour bits that didn't incorporate properly onto your floured surface and use your hands to form the dough into a ball. 

Gradually flatten the dough into a flat round disc shape. If it's still a little shaggy that's fine. It's important that in this process of shaping the dough you only knead it a maximum of 8-10 times. 

Place the flat round disc of dough onto a parchment lined baking tray. Take a sharp knife and cut a deep X into the top of the dough. 

Bake for 35 minutes until golden brown. 

I used bread flour, as I'd run out of plain, and oat milk instead of soya, and sprinkled oats on the top. It is the easiest bread I've ever made, and it tastes wonderful! Was supposed to go with tonight's tea of vegan mushroom soup, but we ate most of it last night ???? will definitely be making this again x

Hello! I've made the loaf with the strong bread flour and it's amazing! xx
