Vegan Sourdough Bread
This vegan sourdough bread packs walnuts, hemp hearts, flax, and canola oil into a hearty, omega-3-rich loaf that rises from sourdough starter with no dairy or eggs required. Each slice delivers a satisfying chew and a meaningful dose of plant-based fats.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup water
- 2 tbsp canola oil
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 cup sourdough starter
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ cup walnuts chopped
- ¼ cup hemp hearts/seeds
- ¼ cup ground flax seeds
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 - ¾ cup all purpose flour
Instructions
- Add the water, oil, maple syrup, sourdough starter, salt, cinnamon, walnuts, and seeds to the bowl of a stand mixer. (That's everything but the flours). Use the kneading hook to mix it all together.
- Add the whole wheat flour and mix again.
- Add 1 cup all purpose flour and mix. Keep adding little bits of flour until the dough starts to pull away from the bowl.
- Knead for 8 minutes.
- Grease a second bowl. Transfer the dough to greased bowl and flip the dough around so that all sides are greased.
- Cover and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled (about 3-12 hours depending on your starter).
- If possible, perform a couple sets of stretch and folds at 30 minute intervals after mixing the dough.
- Form into a loaf and place in a loaf pan or onto a baking sheet. Cover and allow to rise in a warm place about 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Bake about 25-30 minutes or until crust is slightly brown and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
