Hello Reader,
If you are a fan of soft, very slightly sweet, melt in your mouth bread, look no further than Japanese Hokkaido or milk bread.
Besides its fabulous taste and texture, the real bonus of this bread is that it stays fresh on your counter for FIVE days!! (well wrapped of course!)
However the problem for many of you is that milk bread is not something you are able to make. It contains milk, eggs, butter, wheat and dry milk. And the milk most substituted for dairy milk is soy. Yikes!
So I began baking. I have made more than a dozen loaves of vegan milk bread. Is it possible to make milk bread vegan successfully? The answer is a resounding YES! And it is delicious!
So for everyone but my gluten-free friends (sorry!) I have an amazing treat for you!
This week's blog is The Ultimate Guide to Vegan Milk Bread without soy.
This is not my easiest recipe ever. It has a couple of phases and if you are not used to making bread, it may seem challenging. But do NOT be intimidated. I will walk you through every step of the way to an amazing delicious bread.
I have even used it as a base for cinnamon bread (to rave reviews) and hamburger buns.
The podcast is longer this week because I talk to you about the different milk, egg and dried milk substitutes that I have tried. Put it on while you go for a walk or wash dishes!
I would LOVE to hear from you! Let me know if you have made it, plan to make it, or if you have any questions!
Get ready - three of the next four podcasts will be my students sharing recipes they have developed for you! The first up is a dairy free mac and cheese that uses a secret ingredient! (any guesses?)
Keep Cooking to Enable Those You Love to Flourish!
Blessings and Joy,
Cindy

Hello Reader, Food prices have gone and are continuing to go up. And most of you already have higher grocery bills because you are purchasing more expensive products to avoid your allergens. Even if you are mostly cooking from scratch, alternative products are more expensive. I recently made a pizza crust that called for 6 different flour ingredients to try to take the place of flour in the recipe. So to help a little with your budget, in the next several weeks I will be sharing a few...
Hello Reader, Cooking with a caring community is the best way to keep you motivated, inspired, encouraged and give you new ideas. Do you agree?? Some of you have been given a tough job. You are cooking for a variety of food allergies, sensitivities or changes for other health reasons. You cook every day because eating out is too unsafe or complicated. You modify recipes but they do not taste like they used to. Some of them taste bad. There are a few winners. Part of the reason cooking is hard...
