Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• 3/4 cup warm vegan soymilk
• 1/4 cup vegan sugar
• 1/4 tsp.salt
• 1/4 cup veg. oil
• 1/4 cup warm water
• 1 pkg. yeast
• 3 cups flour (bread flour if you can find it)
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamon (optional)
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1/4 cup lemon and/or orange rind (optional)

Directions:

This is a fairly simple sweet vegan bread recipe that is oh so good in the morning or in the
afternoon with a cup of coffee. I’ve seen my grandfather in Germany make this, but he
never uses measurements. I personally need them!

Stir vegan sugar, salt and oil into warm milk. Put yeast into bowl and add warm water (from
faucet). Add lukewarm soy milk mixture, 2 cups flour & cardamon. Beat until smooth. Add
the rest of flour and start to knead on floured counter top until elastic. Put in a
greased bowl, turning greased side up. Cover, let rise until doubled, ~ 1 hr. (** If it
is winter, put bowl on oven set at a low temp — warm to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. This
will help it rise faster. *BE PATIENT* The more it rises, the lighter and yummier
it’ll be). Shape into oblong shape, place onto a greased baking sheet. Brush with a
little oil, cover, let rise until doubled ~45 min. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes. At this
point I have to try not to eat entire loaf! I always double recipe and freeze a loaf.

Yield: 1 loaf.

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• 1-2 cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans) amount depends on how hungry you are!
• 1/2-1 onion, finely chopped*
• 1-3 stalks celery, as desired
• s pinch of fresh, minced garlic
• salt/fresh ground pepper to taste

Directions:

* If you want to take ‘the edge’ off the onions, you can put them
in a little container with some water and microwave them for 2-4 minutes.

Open cans of chickpeas, drain and rinse well. Put chickpeas in a bowl
and “smash” them up well (do NOT puree).

Add all other ingredients, stirring well & enjoy now or
refrigerate until needed.

Can be used as sandwich filler, or on a bed of spinach,
garnished with shredded carrots, cucumber sliced and fresh,
diced tomatoes, as a main course.

Try different variations of this dish by adding your
favorite herbs & spices, fresh garden vegetables, etc.
