Baking Vegan Bread at Home: Beautiful Everyday and Artisan Plant-Based Breads - Hardcover

by Shane Martin (Author)

Enjoy the amazing aromas and flavors of homemade vegan breads made entirely with plant-based ingredients, at a fraction of the cost of store-bought vegan breads.

Everyone deserves good homemade bread, but if you are a vegan or have one in your household, it has long been challenging to bake a luscious, earthy plant-based loaf to serve and enjoy, simply because so many breads and flavored breads contain animal products like eggs, milk, cream, and butter. Vegan baking has seen great improvements in recent years, however, and the tide has turned.

In more than 70 recipes that range from the familiar and kid-friendly to the rustic and artisanal, celebrated vegan blogger Shane Martin reveals how fun and delectable it is to bake vegan breads. With everyday sandwich loaves and elegant French- and Italian-inspired artisan rounds and loaves, and with lots of sweet or cheesy filled breads and quick breads, Baking Vegan Bread at Home serves up a feast of honest and healthy homemade goodness. It includes:

• Family-style loaves from whole wheat and white to rye, pumpernickel, and sourdough
• Artisan breads like focaccia, ciabatta, challah, baguettes, and boules
• Amazing flavored breads made with fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, and, best of all, chocolate!
• Muffins, scones, pancakes, waffles, and donuts for breakfast, brunch, or snacks
• ​Biscuits, buns, rolls, crackers, pitas, pizza doughs, and cornbread

With lots of tips and tricks for making plant-based breads as good as or better than the "originals," this pathbreaking book will have you baking deeply flavorful and incredibly healthy vegan breads in no time.
