Ingredients
  • 2 Tbls. yeast
  • 3 Tbls. cane sugar or honey
  • 2 ½ cups warm water (115-120˚)
  • 2 Tbls. apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
  • 1 Tbls. salt
  • ⅓ cup non-GMO oil such as refined coconut (melted), avocado or olive oil
  • 6-7 cups of all purpose flour
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl combine sweetener with warm water then stir.
  2. Sprinkle yeast over the water then stir briefly. Allow to bloom for 5-10 minutes.
  3. Add vinegar, salt and oil to yeast water then stir.
  4. Add about half of the flour and stir well with a whisk to get rid of lumps.
  5. Add more flour, a scoop at a time, mixing with a spoon until stiff.
  6. Knead bread adding more flour as needed until the bread is no longer sticky. Knead for another 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  7. Place in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap or damp cloth and allow to rise until doubled in a warm place.
  8. Once it’s doubled in size, knead again briefly and divide into six equal pieces. (I use a food scale for this.)
  9. Knead each small piece and form into a small, smooth ball.
  10. Place on baking sheet covered in silpat or parchment.
  11. Brush with egg wash (1 egg + 1 Tbls. water, mixed well) and score the top with a sharp knife.
  12. Bake at 350˚ for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.
