VEGAN HERB GARLIC LOAF

I figured since I did a pasta post the other day that it was only fitting to post my garlic loaf. I love fresh baked bread. With some earth balance spread on it. Mmm! This loaf is really soft and moist. Its great to store for later dates. The freshly grated garlic on top really adds to the flavour of the bread.  I wish it wasn't winter time or I would have used the fresh herbs from my , garden!  Thats truly the best way to have fresh bread.  If you haven't tried growing your own herbs and cooking/baking with it, you haven't lived yet! Its so simple and as long as you have full sun for at least one month of the year (which mostly everyone does) you can do it! Its also so amazing to watch plants grow from seed as well as rewarding to eat what you grow.  Herbs make neat gifts too. Not to mention they look great in your garden bed. I cant wait for summer time so I can post tips and pictures about gardening! Anyways its late and I'm off to bed. Enjoy my herby garlic bread!

VEGAN HERB GARLIC LOAF

Recipe

2 cups unbleached white flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pepper
1 teaspoon sage
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon rosemary
1 1/2 teaspoons turmeric
3 cloves of garlic, grated
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 regular sized can of coconut milk

Steps

Preheat your oven to 375F. In a large bowl combine all your dry ingredients. Beat with a fork to ensure all lumps are out of the mix. Once everything is combined well,  make a well in the middle of your bowl using your fork. Add half of your grated garlic. Add your olive oil then coconut milk.  Begin to mix together with a big spoon. Mix together for 10 minutes.  Once your dough is set ( it should be pretty wet so if theres any dry ingredients showing then add tablespoons of water one at a time. Oil a thin long baking pan with olive oil. Make sure the sides are all covered in oil as well because your loaf will rise. Using a spatula,  scrap your dough into your pan. Smooth the top out with your spatula and sprinkle your other grated garlic on top.

 Place in the oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving smothered in butter. Mmmm. Enjoy!
