I'm new to this and didn't want to try something too difficult right off the bat. I was hoping to have some kind of homemade bread for breakfast without a huge time investment, and this turned out to be exactly what I hoped it would be. I didn't have buttermilk, so I used water, apple cider vinegar, and some olive oil. I also threw in some chia seeds, hoping that would make it hold together a little better.
Any tips for other things I should try? I'm not necessarily trying to make it vegan, although it did come out that way.
Yeah totally, I prefer coconut myself, but rotate what I get with what is sale. It's nice we have so many non dairy options available today, and that they work interchangeably with baking.
Some recipes I noticed will specifically say, "whole milk" and I've worried the non dairy milk will not have enough fat or whatnot, but thus far I've never had issue with the replacement. Like you said, even the lemon/vinegar trick to make 'buttermilk' works with the non dairies, I've no idea the science behind it, but it's helpful!
