💚 Why You’ll Love This Bread
- 100% vegan — no dairy or eggs needed
- Soft, chewy, and beautifully puffed
- Cooked on the stovetop — no oven required
- Perfect with hummus, soups, or vegan stews
🥣 Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or bread flour for extra chewiness)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 tsp instant yeast
- ¾ cup warm water
- ¼ cup plant-based yogurt (coconut or soy works great)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
For the Garlic-Herb Topping:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
- Pinch of chili flakes (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prepare the dough:
In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until bubbly. Add flour, salt, vegan yogurt, and olive oil. Mix until a soft dough forms. - Knead and rest:
Knead for about 5–7 minutes until smooth. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let it rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size. - Shape the bread:
Divide the dough into 6–8 equal balls. Roll each one into a flat round (about ¼ inch thick). - Cook:
Heat a non-stick pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each bread for 1–2 minutes on each side until golden and puffed up. - Add the flavor:
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, parsley, and chili flakes. Brush the hot bread immediately after cooking.
