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!
