Dairy Free Bread Recipe – The Big Man S World
Ingredients:
– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
– 1 1/4 cups warm water
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 1 tbsp honey
– 1 tsp salt
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup of warm water (not hot) with the honey and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes foamy. This indicates that the yeast is activated and ready to use.
2. Add the remaining warm water, olive oil, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir gently to combine all the liquid ingredients.
3. Gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour into the liquid mixture, stirring continuously to form a rough dough.
4. Once the dough starts to come together, transfer it to a well-floured surface and knead for around 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough feels too sticky, you can add a bit more flour as needed.
5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let it rest in a warm, draft-free place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size.
6. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
7. After the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release any air bubbles. Shape it into a loaf or desired bread form and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Cover the dough with the kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.
9. Once the dough has risen again, make small slits on the top with a sharp knife, creating decorative patterns.
10. Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped at the bottom.
11. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy the warm, freshly baked Dairy-Free Bread, “The Big Man S World,” as a side to your favorite soup, with spreads, or simply on its own.
This recipe provides a delightful bread option for those following a dairy-free lifestyle, allowing you to savor the joy of homemade baking without compromising on taste or dietary preferences.
