Ingredients

  • 3 ½ - 4 cups flour (we prefer bread, can use all-purpose or whole wheat - see post for details)
  • 1 package instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups dairy free milk (we like oat - can use any non-strongly flavored dairy free milk) *can also use water if needed
  • ¼ cup maple syrup (sub for agave or cane sugar)
  • ¼ cup olive oil, divided

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together 3 ½ cups flour, yeast, and salt. 
  • Then, add in the dairy free milk and maple syrup. 
  • Using a spatula, fold until mostly combined.  Sprinkle a little more flour if needed to not be sticky and form a ball.  
  • Once ball is formed, grease the same bowl mixed in and place the dough ball back into the bowl. 
    *If you are oil free, then just make sure sides of bowl are floured, or use a silicone bowl to easily get it out
  • Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let sit for 60-90 minutes in a warm, draft free place until doubled.
  • When ready, add 2 tablespoons olive oil to to a 10x15 baking tray (like a jelly roll pan). Spread and stretch the dough. to fill the tray. 
  • Dampen a towel and cover the dough on the tray. Let it sit until doubled in size, approximately 35-45 minutes.  
  • Once doubled, add another 2 tablespoons oil over the top. 
  • Using your finger tips, press down into the dough to make dimples all over the dough (literally push down to make dents into the dough that touch the bottom of the pan). 
  • Add any flavors on top - garlic, cherry tomatoes, fresh or dried herbs like rosemary of thyme, or leave plain. 
    *Could also at this point add marinara and pizza toppings and make it a pizza.
  • Bake at 400° for 20 - 25 minutes or until the bread is golden brown on top.
  • Use to make sandwiches, dip in soups or stews, and more.
