Dairy Free Vegan Whole Grain Soda Bread

This rustic loaf gets its tang and lift from a quick buttermilk-style soak of plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar, left to thicken before it's folded into a hearty mix of whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and rolled oats. A touch of maple syrup adds warmth without tipping into sweet territory, while melted vegan butter keeps the crumb tender rather than dry. The dough comes together quickly with a fork, no kneading required, then gets shaped into a rustic round and slashed with a deep X before baking. It emerges from the oven with a deep golden, craggy crust and a hollow-sounding thump, the telltale sign of a properly baked soda bread. Sliced thick and still warm, it's the kind of no-fuss loaf that makes a great fit for a dairy free bread basket. Keep it on repeat for weekend brunches or alongside a simple soup.
