Whole Wheat Bread Recipe Vegan

What’s better than the smell of freshly baked bread? Making your own 100% whole wheat bread loaf at home with ease ????. It’s seriously the most rewarding (and delicious) thing to make your own fresh bread. If you haven’t already, please try it out, it’s a lot easier than you may think. If you have, then you’re already a pro, and we’ve got a delicious new recipe for ya!

Why is 100% whole wheat bread better? It’s more nutrient and fiber-rich as opposed to bread made with white flour. It won’t spike your blood sugar and cause for a mid-day crash after smashing an epic sandwich. Trust me, I’ve been there, it’s not fun! ????

Whole

For this 100% whole wheat bread, we used our favorite whole wheat flour from Bob’s Red Mill. Their flour and other products have been a pantry staple of ours for years, and we’ve always got at least a few Bob’s Red Mill flour bags ready to go in case the urge to bake something tasty strikes.

Hi, we’re Jasmine and Chris! We share fresh and fun recipes to show you that vegan cooking is easy, approachable and delicious. When we’re not blogging, you will probably find us enjoying live music, tending to our backyard garden or playing with our dogs Berry and LouieYou know, I always wanted to be the kind of person who makes their own hummus and bakes their own whole wheat bread. So I’m pretty chuffed that I have become this person!

So now I can feel all wholesome and earth-motherish. Well, at least I would if I had some kiddos other than my two cat babies.

And ‘eating clean’ is quite the popular phrase in diet culture. But depending on which diet camp you’ve found yourself, ‘clean’ can have vastly different meanings. Like for some it means eating plenty of meat but cutting out grains and processed foods. And of course that is not at all what it means in the vegan community.

Homestyle 100% Whole Wheat Vegan Bread

But anyway, I am not a fan of labelling foods like this because it’s a value judgement, like ‘good’ or ‘bad’. Which some can take to extremes and it can lead to eating disorders (not good).

But that being said, lately it can be hard to find a loaf of bread in the store that doesn’t have a heap of junk in it. There is one particular loaf of wholewheat bread that I bought, and we just didn’t get around to eating it (or throwing it out).

However, it was just as perfectly fresh 3 weeks after purchase as it was on the day I brought it home from the store. Hmmm.

Vegan Spelt Bread Recipe

So I do like to make some whole wheat bread myself, and when it’s as easy as THIS, then there’s no reason not to! Also check out our other super easy bread recipes, our vegan white bread, vegan soda bread and vegan focaccia.

You will find full instructions and measurements in the recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a summary of the process to go along with the process photos.

I have literally never come across a recipe as easy as this. It’s just 5-ingredients, and you don’t even have to knead it.

Amish Whole Wheat Potato Bread

In fact, kneading is out with this recipe. You just throw some whole wheat flour, instant yeast and a little salt to a mixing bowl.

No

Mix in to just combine (no kneading! I’m not going to tell you again you super-keen kneading fan), move it into a greased loaf pan (a little parchment paper on the bottom is also a good idea), cover it and leave it to rise for 20 minutes.

It does all its rising before it even hits the oven. So the height it is when it goes in is pretty much the height it is when it comes out.

Homemade Vegan Bread

I mean really I don’t think it could be easier even if you used a bread machine. Well, I’ve never used a bread machine so I can’t really compare, but with a recipe as easy as this, who needs a bread machine?

And the BEST thing about baking your own whole wheat bread is your whole house smells delicious and you get to eat it warm from the oven.

I mean really if you don’t feel like cooking, just make a loaf of this (it barely counts as ‘cooking’ it’s too easy), and serve it with a huge salad, maybe some roasted garlic hummus and avocado and various other toppings and dinner is done and dusted!

My Best Vegan Gluten Free Bread Recipe

Of course it goes immensely well with any homemade soups too! So if you’re having a delicious vegan potato leek soup or vegan tomato soup or vegan lentil soup for dinner, then this is going to be awesome for dipping.

This recipe is very versatile and has worked great when we’ve switched up the flours. We have tried this recipe as follows and all have worked out great:

Vegan

It even works with a gluten-free all purpose flour blend. I find that adding a tablespoon or two of olive oil (at the same time as the other wet ingredients) makes the gluten-free version come out softer.

Whole Grain Seed Bread Recipe

It’s best when very fresh (the day of making it) but it will keep for a couple of days in a closed container and it also makes very delicious toast!

You can freeze it, and that’s best done on the day of baking to lock in the freshness. If you freeze it on the second or third day then you can use it for toast straight from the freezer.

A good sandwich bread is a like a dream. Soft, airy, gorgeous crumb, all whole grain, no unknownadditives, dough conditioners and most importantly great tasting. Now the last part is the most difficult of the lot.

Most whole grain or grain and seed breads from the market fall a bit short on the taste factor. I don’t know what they do, but the breads are just too sweet tasting and generally have an odd after taste. And they never work out great to make sweet or savory french toasts (they get so soggy). Its not like they make great sandwiches. Grill them, and taste cardboard. On the other hand some of the artisan style breads dislike my teeth. I mean can you ever bite into them without breaking something!

No Knead Vegan Whole Wheat Bread

Or maybe I am too finicky. :). Anywho, some of those problems are non-existent with this gorgeous loaf of bread. This bread has just 3 main ingredients, whole wheat flour, water, yeast! No other flour. And it is soft and delicious! And not dense.

Makes perfect sandwiches and french toasts. I add lemon juice and cumin to change up the flavor a bit from the earthy wheat. Try it. Add orange juice instead of lemon.You can add some vital wheat gluten so the bread doesnt make too many crumbs when sliced.

Make the sponge mixture (see recipe instructions below). Let it sit for an hour. Knead with the rest of the flour.
