Onion herb bread



After my husband gave me an idea to make onion bread, I found a recipe in my bread maker recipe book for garlic bread. However, I wanted it to be onion and the only thing in the recipe that was non vegan was parmesan cheese. So I omitted it as well as the garlic and added grated onion. It turned out so well. If you don't have a bread maker you could still do it by hand, just make sure you prove it a few times and knead it well. (If you have dough hooks for your electric mixer they make the job easier).


Here is the recipe:


1 cup water

2 tbs olive oil

1 1/2 tsp salt

3 cups plain flour

2 tsp sugar

1 tsp dried basil

1 tsp dried rosemary

1 tsp black ground peper

2 tsp yeast

3 tbs grated onion


Mix the dry indredients together

Add the wet

Mix together well and knead for about ten minutes until smooth and elastic

set aside in a warm place to rise for an hour.

Knock down and rise again for another hour

Bake in a 190c oven for about an hour. If you lightly tap the base it should sound hollow when its cooked. Serve warm with vegan margerine


(If you have a bread machine a basic programme should work well,but still bake it in the oven).

Lamingtons!


I accidently came across this recipe for lamingtons!

I have found in the past it very difficult to make lamingtons as I have not been able to come across a good enough vegan sponge recipe. However these onese turned out very very good!




I only put the cakes in the freezer for a few hours, but they still turned out fine.
