Somewhere between sandwich bread and brioche… here comes the brioche bread! 😍😍 The best toast in the world, super easy to make, and I freeze it in slices so I always have some on hand! So if you’ve been thinking about making your own bread for toast and sandwiches, this is the perfect vegan recipe to start with!
Pour the warm water into a bowl (about the temperature of a warm bath) and let the yeast rehydrate. After a few minutes, a foam should form, indicating that the yeast is active.
In a mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, combine the flour, sugar, salt, yeast mixture, and margarine. Knead (with a mixer or by hand) for a few minutes until you get a smooth, slightly sticky dough. Let it rest in the bowl, covered with a cloth, for 2 hours. In winter, I place my bowl in the oven (turned off) with the light on to keep it warm.
Deflate the dough. Roughly shape it into a rectangle the length of your loaf pan, then roll it up. Place the dough into your greased loaf pan.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F). Bake the brioche bread for 25 minutes on the lower rack, then 10 minutes on the middle rack!
Once the bread has cooled slightly, remove it from the pan. It keeps for 3 days wrapped in a cloth on your counter! You can also slice it and freeze it.
