History Of Bread
Bread is a staple food prepared from a dough of flour and water. It is one of the oldest man-made foods and it’s one of the best comfort foods ever!
“The history of bread is lost in the depths of time just like human presence on earth. It is one of the oldest artificial foods: it was already prepared, in ancient Egypt, at the time of the dawn of civilization.”
Now. the sore subject no one likes to talk about and just dismiss…If bread is intimidating to you or you’re just not up to the task, we get it! Making bread sounds and can be complicated, with all the timing & temperature control conventions and steps of the rising of the dough, punching it down, rising again, sometimes even multiple times, tiring…blah!! We can’t be bothered with it! 😂 That’s why this Rustic Vegan Buttermilk No-Yeast Bread is perfect for making quickly!

Ingredients for Rustic No-Yeast Vegan Buttermilk Bread Recipe
How to Make Homemade Vegan Buttermilk (5 minutes)
- ¾ cups non-dairy milk of choice
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon
Vegan Buttermilk Bread Recipe
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour (if not wanting to use almond flour/wheat flour, increase all purpose flour to 2 cups and omit almond flour/wheat flour in next ingredient step)
- ½ cup almond flour or whole wheat flour (omit almond flour/wheat flour if using all-purpose flour only, as in ingredient step above)
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp granulated sugar
How to Make Rustic Vegan Buttermilk No-Yeast Bread
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- In a bowl or large measuring cup, combine the milk and vinegar or lemon and stir to combine. Set aside so mixture will become homemade vegan buttermilk (5 mins).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
- Add enough vegan buttermilk to make a thick, shaggy dough. It should be a little wet and sticky. If the dough is too wet to work with add a tablespoon of flour or just enough flour to make it manageable. Sticky dough rises more easily than a dry dough so you want to keep this dough pretty moist since we are working without yeast for the rise.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured area and knead 5 to 10 times – just enough to form a ball. Do not work the dough any more than this.
- Pat the dough into 1 or 2 loafs about 1-inch high in whatever shape you want.
- If desired, can try to use sharp knife to make pattern, but it won’t be distinctive because of the consistency of the dough.
- Place dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, so check at 30 and go by this: The dough will be golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. The internal temperature will be about 175°F to 180°F when tested with a digital kitchen thermometer. A skewer inserted into the center of the loaf should come out clean or with a couple of crumbs attached.
- Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing. Best served warm or at room temperature for up to 2 days. To keep long longer, place bread in sealed container and place in fridge and use as needed up to 5 days.
Storing Rustic Vegan Buttermilk No-Yeast Bread
- To store this vegan bread loaf, keep in an airtight container, or ziplock bag on the counter for 2-3 days. For longer storage, place in a freezer safe bag and freeze for up to 4 months.
More Variations
- Add in some chopped up herbs, sun-dried tomatoes, olives or raisins for a different kind of change-up.
We love easy and quick! So, here’s a super simple no-yeast bread recipe that even the people who claim not to be bakers will absolutely fall in love with. Once you make it, you’ll find yourself wanting to bake this vegan bread recipe with no yeast again and again!

i love a simple rustic bread. Can i up the almond flour to increase the protein? or use chickpea flour instead of white?
thanks.
Glad you love the bread! You can increase almond flour for more protein—just use it 1:1 for all-purpose flour and be mindful that it might make the bread crumblier. Chickpea flour is also a great substitute; try replacing up to half of the all-purpose flour. Both options may change the bread’s texture and flavor, but that’s the fun of experimenting. Happy baking!
