Most Common Types of Bread that are Usually Vegan

  • Foccacia: This Italian flatbread is usually topped with herbs, sometimes even decorated with herbs in to resemble an artwork, and baked in a sheet pan. Its rich in fat from olive oil that’s used and has a nice yeasty flavor as well. Goes well as a sandwich or simply to just have with some butter.  This also goes well on the charcuterie board.
  • Sourdough Bread: This bread does not use any commercial yeast or other ingredients to aid in the rise. Instead you use a starter dough which is a mix of fermented flour and water mixture which includes wild yeast and good bacteria
  • Ciabatta: Another Italian white bread made with whole wheat flour yeast, olive oil, salt and water with a crunchy texture on the outside and soft and airy texture on the inside.
  • Kosher bread: These are usually free of dairy, since Jewish diets avoid mixing dairy with meat. So a dairy free bread leaves room for meat toppings. Some of these breads do not contain eggs as well, making them fully vegan.
  • Baguette: A popular type of French bread that’s long and thin with a crispy crust and tender crumb.
  • Pita Bread: Mostly vegan and made with flour, yeast, water and salt, pita is a simple flat bread, most popularly found in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine.
  • Ezekiel Bread: Made from sprouted whole grains and legumes, Ezekiel is another popular bread which is usually higher in protein and other nutrients.

Commonly asked Questions

What is gluten-free bread and is it healthy?

Gluten-free bread is dense, which makes each slice heavier than a regular slice of bread. This means more calories, sugar and less fiber.

Is whole wheat bread healthier than white bread?

Whole wheat bread has a lot more fiber, nutritional value and few calories when compared to white bread.

Is yeast vegan?

YES! Yeast is a species of single celled organism that belongs to the fungi kingdom! Its neither an animal or a plant, hence its vegan!

How do you store vegan bread?

Store bread wrapped in plastic wrap, freezer bags* or in any airtight container. Damp and airy places are the worst place you could store breads in, since it can lead to mold build up and make the bread go stale.

If you store it in the refrigerator, it can last up to around 7 to 12 days. If you want to store for longer, then wrap individual slices with plastic wrap and freeze it, it could stay for 6 months.

Do you need bread maker to make bread?

Short answer is no, you do not need a bread maker to make bread. The process of making traditional bread includes mixing, kneading, rising, proofing and finally, the baking. You can definitely do all this by yourself, with some effort and a lot of patience.

Proving especially can be really tricky when it comes to fluctuating temperature and a not-so-controlled environment, which would lead to a less risen dough which in turn leads to a dense cake. Another delicate process is the kneading (for the ones which kneading), where too much kneading or more also called ‘overworking’ the dough, causes the dough to become tough and lead to a dense, tough bread.

If you are someone who bakes cakes very often, then the element of time would be the biggest attraction. While you may know to make really awesome breads consistently and frequently, then a bread maker will, without a doubt, save you a lot of time. Check out Hamilton Beach Bread Maker* (2 lb capacity) and KBS 17-in-1 Programmable Bread Maker (2 lb capacity)*.

In terms of cost savings, let say your average white bread costs you $2 and you buy them once a week, you can easily make up for the money spent in a year itself, and if you are going for more healthier multigrain type of breads, then its going to cost you more so you definitely save the money even faster. All the above reasons, combined with the fact that bread needs very simple ingredients like flour, yeast, salt and so on, it is a no-brainer that a bread maker is a worthwhile investment to a frequent baker.

Are plant based breads healthy?

Even though you could make the argument that vegan or plant based breads are healthier just because there is no eggs in it and it has whole grains and the nutritional value that comes with it, it still carries a good amount of fat and calories. So vegan breads should be consumed in moderation.

How to check if a bread is vegan?

Best way to check if a bread is vegan is to check the ingredients list and keep an eye out for the following items:

  • Dairy products: Milk, yogurt, lactose, butter, buttermilk, ghee, caseinate, sodium caseinate, L-cysteine,
  • Whole Eggs, egg whites, yolks
  • Lard
  • Gelatin
  • Honey
