With most of us stuck indoors, there has never been a better time to sharpen your baking skills. Here, on a single page, I've gathered for you some of my favorite vegan bread recipes that I've shared with you over the years.
Most are easy and fool proof, but if you're a new bread maker, be sure to follow instructions carefully. Bread-making is as much science as it is art, so subbing ingredients can result in vastly different results.
I have divvied these up into sections, including everyday breads like sandwich breads and burger rolls, French and Italian breads like brioche and baguettes, both regular and gluten-free sourdough breads (with starter recipes for both kinds), Indian breads and flatbreads like naan, paratha and pav, and--because so many of us are stuck with kids--some fun bread recipes you can make together.
As always, feel free to ask questions and I'll respond as soon as I can. Happy bread baking!

I made your sourdough starter three weeks ago. I made the first no knead sourdough bread two weeks ago - the dough was so sticky that i lost most of it on the parchment. It could not be shaped at all but was a flat runny mess. It did not rise very much overnight either. So i thought I'd try again. Exact same issue - the dough was so sticky and runny that i could not shape it at all after the overnight rise. It stuck to the parchment and was very dense/did not rise. Why is the initial no knead sourdough bread dough after the first rise so so sticky and runny? My starter looks exactly like your starter. I wanted to ask before giving up & trying a whole new different starter recipe.
Please comment on what i can do after the first rise if the dough doesn't rise and is so terribly sticky/runny.

It should be sticky but not runny. You may be hydrating your starter too much, or you prob are in a humid climate. You can try using less water next time. This really is a fool-proof recipe--it never fails for me, and I make it almost every week.

Are you’re recipes available as a cook book all in one place? I’m such a page turner.
Vaishali
Sorry, but no cookbook. 🙂
Shobhana
Vaishali, can you post atta bread recipes that can be made in a toaster oven.
Vaishali
Yes, I'll work on that!
Becca Ambert
Thank you so much for posting all of these receipes! I consider this a free bread cookbook -- maybe you should publish it as a print cook book or an e-cookbook...?
Vaishali
Thanks, Becca. 🙂 I hope it's useful for readers.
