Ingredients

500 g plain flour
2 1/2 tbs dry yeast
60 g raw caster sugar
70 g dairy-free sunflower margarine
5 tbs sunflower oil
300 ml almond milk lukewarm
1 tbs lemon zest
3/4 cup raisins
1/2 tsp Himalayan pink salt

Method

Step 1

Add the flour into a bowl and make a well in the centre. Add the yeast into the well and a splash of lukewarm almond milk.
Step 2

Heat the almond milk and melt the margarine in it. Set aside to cool down a little bit. Add all the ingredients to the flour and start to combine, knead until you get a smooth dough.
Step 3

When you have nice smooth dough, return to the bowl, cover with a towel and give the dough a rest for 1 hour.
Step 4

Slightly knead the dough again. Cut into 3 equal pieces and start to roll 3 snakes to make a braid.
Step 5

Spread the top with sunflower oil and almond milk. Give it another rest of 10 more min. Put into the preheated oven 170C° and bake for 25 - 30 min.
