Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1-2 cups all-purpose flour
- 12 oz whole-wheat flour or pastry flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- kosher salt
- 8 oz milk non-dairy
- 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 cups spinach fresh
- rolled oats sunflower seeds, or caraway seeds for sprinkling on top
Instructions
Instruction:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the baking soda, baking powder, flour, and salt. Set them aside.
- Blend non-dairy milk, spinach leaves, and vinegar till completely smooth using a blender.
- Drizzle all of the spinach and milk mixture into the flour, except about 1 tbsp, and stir to combine.
- Make small, 6-inch loaves by dividing the dough into three pieces. Flatten them gently so they cook evenly, and make slash "X" to the top. (See note 1)
- Bake for 30 minutes, just until lightly browned and the tops have a crusty appearance.
- Remove them from the oven and set them to cool on a wire rack. For added crunch, serve with preserves, olive oil, or vegan butter.
Notes
Notes:
- Add a little extra flour to your dough balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Do not get to depth; merely slash the surface. If you're dusting something on top, sweep the loaves with the ones left spinach/milk mixture before dusting the toppings.
- Sunflower seeds, caraway seeds, roll oats are all good toppings to use before baking this loaf.
- You can definitely skip the spinach if you don't like it. Simply replace it with another 2 ounces of non-dairy milk.
