Fresh Vegan White Bread (Easy Bread Machine Recipe)
This fresh, light and fluffy vegan white bread is so simple and quick to make – and will leave your house filled with delicious aromas of freshly baked bread (just like a bakery)! You can make a fresh loaf of bread easily using this bread machine recipe!
Add the strong white bread flour, extra virgin olive oil, salt and water into the bread pan. Transfer bread pan back into the unit and make sure it is secure, closing the lid.
Place measured yeast into the appropriate compartment (yeast dispenser).
Use the control panel to select the setting for a “Basic Rapid Italian bread” to make a medium loaf (Menu 2: 1h 55 min), select start and bake the bread. The bread maker will mix, knead and bake the bread!
Once bread is baked, carefully transfer the bread onto cooling rack to allow bread to cool.
Use oven gloves to remove the bread pan and shake the bread out onto the cooling rack (as it will be hot).
Slice the bread using a sharp knife and bread cutter. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Cool bread on cooling rack: once the bread is made carefully remove it from the bread maker and transfer the loaf onto a cooling rack. This helps prevent the bread from becoming soggy (as the steam from the bread can release moisture).
Use bread cutter to cut slices of bread once cooled: it will be easier to slice the bread once it has fully cooled. I recommend using a bread cutter and sharp knife to help cut the bread into even slices
Ensure yeast is active: this will help ensure your loaf of bread is fluffy, light and rises well.
Variations/other ideas: you can make other vegan bread machine recipes including whole wheat bread using whole wheat flour. You can also make your own gluten-free bread recipe - your bread machine manual may include this option (note: you would need specific ingredients including gluten-free flour, xanthan gum or psyllium husk powder).
