vegan food cooking, 🤞🏽
attempting our first kneaded loaf of bread using https://www.marystestkitchen.com/perfect-vegan-french-bread/ as a recipe
dunno if we did it right but kneading turned out to be less stressful or strenuous than we feared, and we have a ... taut? ball of dough currently in an oiled bowl for its rise

(used straight coconut oil as our butter substitute)

gave it an hour to rise - not sure how to judge if it doubled, but it definitely got bigger
divided into loaves and put on a baking sheet for final rise and then baking

vegan food cooking update 2 (tupdate)
oooo - these are a lot softer than the no-knead loaves have been
interested to see how they are to eat!

vegan food cooking update 3: tasting
It's sweet! And soft, and interesting! Dips well into some soup.

realization re: vegan food cooking update 3: tasting
oh right: if you use coconut oil to make a loaf of bread, it's going to taste coconutty
...I don't hate this. It's desserty, which we weren't expecting, but that doesn't make it inedible

@packbat just note that avacado oil is relatively expensive tho

@aescling *nods!*
I bet nut oils would be interesting - we might go ahead and try olive oil next just because we have it, but maybe we'll get some avocado oil sometime
