Vegan Cheese Bread

Ingredients

• 0.17 cup Oat Milk
• ⅔ tsp White Sugar
• ¾ tsp Instant Yeast
• 2 ⅔ tbsp Vegan Butter
• ½ tsp Garlic Powder
• 1 cup Bread Flour
• ⅔ cup Vegan Cheddar Shreds
• 0.17 cup Fresh Parsley

Instructions

1. Warm the oat milk in the microwave for about 30 seconds until it reaches approximately 110°F. Pour into a mixing bowl, stir in the sugar and instant yeast, and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
2. Add 2 tbsp of the melted vegan butter and ¼ tsp garlic powder to the yeast mixture. Add the bread flour and stir until a shaggy dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle roughly 4" x 8". Sprinkle about half the vegan cheddar shreds evenly over the surface, then roll up from the short side into a log.
4. Line a small loaf pan with parchment paper and place the rolled dough inside. Score the top a few times about 1 inch deep with a sharp knife. Cover with a clean dish towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
5. Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix the remaining melted vegan butter with the chopped parsley and remaining ¼ tsp garlic powder. Brush the mixture over the top of the loaf and sprinkle with the remaining vegan cheddar shreds.
6. Bake uncovered for 10 minutes until the top is golden and the cheese is melted. Let cool in the pan for at least 5 minutes before slicing with a serrated knife.
