The Recipe

Best fluffy vegan challah

Ingredients

4 cups / 500 g all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or any other syrup you like)

1 teaspoon active-dry yeast

1 tablespoon soft vegan butter

1 cup / 236 g of warm water (you might need a few tablespoons more)

dash of salt

1 tablespoon melted vegan butter

1 tablespoon plant-based milk

sesame to sprinkle 

Instructions

1. In a large bowl combine flour, salt, syrup, yeast, butter and water. Knead by hand for about 5 to 10 minutes until smooth. Let rise for about 1,5 hours or overnight (that's what I did to get free baked challah in the morning).

2. Preheat oven to 410 °F / 210 °C.

3. Braid or shape the dough as you desire and place on a lightly greased baking tray. 

4. Mix 1 tablespoon of melted butter with 1 tablespoon plant-based milk and brush the dough with it. Sprinkle challah with sesame (optional).

5. Bake for about 25 minutes or until golden brown. ENJOY!
