22 Great Vegan Bread Recipes

April 4, 2020 by Alexandra Daum

Most of these vegan bread recipes are made without ingredients like white flour or sugar, and the majority are made with spelt flour (you can sub all purpose if you prefer) and some with other ancient grains, like rye and einkorn.

You might be surprised by how easy it is to make vegan bread. The most basic of breads are already vegan – just flour, water, salt – but sweet options like cinnamon rolls and challah are easily vegan too.

I’ve been making bread for a long time and had no difficulty at all transitioning my bread baking over into vegan recipes when I stopped eating dairy. It’s an easy switch and bread is truly one of the easiest things to make plant based!

Sourdough Rye Bread
Sourdough rye bread, following a no-knead method, made with a base of rye and spelt flour. An easy low-hydration loaf with a great crumb.
12 hrs 50 mins
Several halved slices of sourdough bread, one with butter.
Spelt Sourdough Bread
100% spelt sourdough bread, made with only spelt flour. This lower hydration bread is easy to make, even for sourdough beginners.
12 hrs 50 mins

Easy Overnight Dark Rye Bread
This overnight rye bread is an easier version of a northern European classic, made with whole grain spelt and rye flour, cocoa, and oats. This dense bread is not at all dry and makes a nice alternative to light loaves, with a stronger flavour and slightly chewy texture.
12 hrs 45 mins
Two slices of dark rye bread with oats cut from a loaf.
Simple Spelt Bread Recipe
An easy spelt bread recipe, made with 100% whole grain spelt flour, for the perfect sandwich bread. You’re just over two hours away from homemade bread, and about 10 minutes of active kitchen time.
