INGREDIENTS - for the vegan snack

Arrange all ingredients on a platter or board as desired. Slice the root bread, combine with spreads and cold cuts, and add fresh vegetables. Serve the ginger shot chilled.

Freshly baked root bread is ideal as a base for a vegan snack. It is particularly creamy when combined with plant-based spreads, such as vegan liver sausage in mushroom, plain, or coarse varieties. If you prefer something more savory, you can also top the bread with vegan cold cuts or salami. The purely plant-based range from The Vegan Butcher offers a wide selection for this purpose. Whether for breakfast, brunch, or dinner—a vegan snack is uncomplicated, filling, and quick to prepare.

ROOT BREAD

Root bread is made from a simple yeast dough and does not require any laborious kneading. The dough is lightly twisted to create its typical rustic shape – ideal as a basis for a hearty snack.

ROOT BREAD - RECIPE

  • 500 g wheat flour
  • 10 g salt
  • 10 g fresh yeast or ½ packet dry yeast
  • 350 ml lukewarm water
  • 1 teaspoon sugar or agave syrup
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil (optional)

Dissolve the yeast and sugar in lukewarm water and leave to stand for 5–10 minutes until bubbles form. Mix the flour and salt in a bowl, add the yeast mixture and optional olive oil, and mix to form a soft, slightly sticky dough. Cover the dough and leave to rise in a warm place for approx. 2 hours until it has increased significantly in volume. Preheat the oven to 220 °C top/bottom heat. Place the dough on a floured work surface, do not knead any more, divide into two pieces, roll out lengthwise and twist slightly. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place a small bowl of water in the oven and bake the bread for about 30 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool before serving.
