Question:

We usually home make bread. Is there any bread or similar substitute that could be considered WFPB? Any ingredients that could be subbed to be more clean than unbleached AP flour?

— Meredith Greene

Answer:

I don't know if any of you have ever seen the recipe it's called it's on the website Alaska from scratch and this woman years ago is the person who I think invented making bread in a dutch oven. And her recipe calls for flower and water and a tablespoon of oil. So I make the bread without oil and I take them mentality of oh my God, I forgot to put the oil in and things still come out and the bread using any kind of other flower then AP flower. I started out with a mix of half and then one to a quarter and it still worked. Well Rye flour whole wheat flour. There is you could use an unbleached. a whole There's an unbleached whole wheat flour that you can also use that has a little bit different texture. I say. Go to the flower aisle at your favorite grocery store and look at them and experiment even buy some in bulk so that you can maintain the quantity that you need without having to buy a big five-pound bag of something. So go to bulk get some flowers. Try it out and visit the website that has the I think it's called like no rise bread, but the bread comes out beautifully, I'll post some of the bread that I've made on my personal Instagram account, which is Shameless plug here, which is Char underscore Nolan because during the peak of the pandemic, we ate a lot of bread. We ate garlic bread. We ate raisin bread. We had date bread. We had a lot of different bread without using all purpose flour. When Patrick Patrick just put the the website up and I think you'll enjoy it.
