Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour – for a soft, fluffy base
- 1 ½ teaspoons instant yeast – quick and reliable rise
- 1 ½ teaspoons pink salt – adds flavor balance
- 1 ½ teaspoons honey (or maple syrup/agave) – for a touch of sweetness
- 1 ½ cups soy milk (or water) – to bring the dough together
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Mix the Dough
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir until a sticky dough forms.
2. Let It Rise (First Proof)
Cover and let the dough rest at room temperature for 2 hours until doubled and bubbly.
3. Shape the Dough
Use oiled forks and fingers to pull the dough into a loose cylinder.
4. Prepare the Pan & Second Rise
Place the dough in a greased loaf pan and let it rise for 1 more hour.
5. Bake It Off
Bake at 375°F for 20–24 minutes until golden on top.
6. Butter & Cool
Brush with butter and let cool for 30 minutes before slicing.
Pro Tips & Suggestions
- Use warm (not hot) soy milk or water to help activate the yeast faster.
- Add herbs or garlic powder to the dough for extra flavor.
- Don’t skip the cooling time—this helps the bread slice cleanly.
- Store leftovers in a sealed bag or freeze slices for easy toast later.
