Vegan Irish Soda Bread
This vegan Irish soda bread is made with simple ingredients for an authentic style brown table bread.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ tbsp white vinegar
- 1 ¾ cup plain oat milk (see instructions)
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for shaping the dough)
- 1 ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Add the vinegar to a measuring cup. Fill the rest of the measuring cup up to the 1 ¾ cup mark with oat milk. Let sit for about 5 minutes.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, white flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir well.
-
Add the oat milk mixture, stirring and forming a dough until just combined.
-
Sprinkle a little flour over the top of the dough in the bowl, then flip the dough and sprinkle a little more flour on that side. The goal is to get just enough flour on the dough so that you can work it into round shape - somewhere between a disc and a boule (slightly rounded ball). Do not knead the dough; handle as little as possible. You want it to be round with a slightly domed top.
-
Place the dough on the parchment-lined baking sheet. With a sharp knife, score the center of the dough with an X about ½-inch thick.
-
Bake at 425 degrees F for about 35-40 minutes, or until the bread is cooked through. When cooked through, it should have a hollow sound when tapped on the bottom, and a toothpick will pull out clean from the center.
-
Let cool on a cooling rack for at least 15-20 minutes, then slice and enjoy.
