What is a Vegan Diet?

Procedure for Making Vegan Bread
We will start by mixing all the dry ingredients, and then we will place the liquids and begin to incorporate them until they form a uniform dough.
Then, we will knead for about 5 minutes and let the dough rest for at least an hour.
After that time, we will knead a little more to aerate it. We preheat the oven for 5 minutes, and then we put the future bread for 35 minutes at 180 degrees. And ready! After that, we remove it from the oven to taste. Watch the whole procedure step by step in the video.
