Ingredients
4 cups cake flour
1 Tbsp vital wheat gluten
1 Tbsp instant dry yeast
1 tsp baking soda
¼ cup organic sugar
1 cup water
½ cup vegan butter
For The Glaze
1 tsp maple syrup
1 tsp water
½ tsp vegan butter
Instructions
Mix the flour, vital wheat gluten, yeast, baking soda, and sugar in a large bowl. Pour in the warm water and melted vegan butter. Stir together well, adding extra spoonfuls of flour if needed, until a thick dough is formed.
Knead dough for 10 minutes or process in a food processor about 2-3 minutes, until dough pulls away easily from the side. Sprinkle in extra flour as needed.
Cut dough into 3 or more equal parts and pull into strips. Loosely roll the strips up and place in a greased loaf pan or 9x9" baking dish. Cover and let rise until doubled in size.
Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 20 minutes at 350° Fahrenheit or until crust is golden and loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Take out the brioche and brush with the glaze. Let bake another 5 minutes or until crust is deep brown. Brush on an additional coating of glaze after removing from the oven.
Let the vegan brioche cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then remove. Try not to eat it all at once!
