WFPB Cooking: Bread Baking 101

In Whole Food, Plant-Based (WFPB) Cooking: Bread Baking 101, you will learn the fundamentals of baking with whole grains and other minimally processed plant-based ingredients. We will explore how to choose and incorporate numerous flours, seeds, and natural sweeteners; we will also touch on the nutritional benefits of WFPB bread. You will learn essential bread-making techniques—such as mixing, kneading, and proofing dough—and methods for achieving the perfect crust and crumb. Participants will practice WFPB baking techniques by making various breads, including whole wheat loaves, flatbreads, and rolls, and will learn to create flavor using herbs, spices, and other healthy plant-based ingredients. You will also learn how to troubleshoot common issues, such as a dense texture or a lack of rise. By the end of the class, you will have the skills to bake healthy plant-based bread from scratch and experiment with your own recipes.

The Total Health Experience: Eat, Play, Learn

Whole Food, Plant-Based (WFPB) Cooking: Bread Baking 101

By Evelisse Capó, PharmD, DipACLM

(2)

This dish blends the wholesome flavors of the earth with two of the most energetic flavors in the culinary toolbox. The brightness of the citrus and the bite of the ginger might seem like a lot on their own, but the roasted veggies keep them down to earth.

Prep: 15 mins Cook: 1 hr Yield: 6–8 servings

Gluten Free Low Sugar Nut Free Soy Free

Ingredients

1 large beet, washed and ends cut
Juice and zest from one large orange, divided
1 Tbsp fresh ginger juice
6 cups medium cubed butternut squash
3 medium carrots, sliced thick
Fresh basil to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Wrap beet in parchment paper, then aluminum foil, and bake for one hour, or until tender. Set aside to cool.
3. In a small bowl, mix the freshly squeezed orange and ginger juice.
4. In a bowl, mix butternut squash and carrots with 2 tablespoons of the orange juice/ginger marinade.
5. Place marinated butternut squash and carrots on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 30 minutes, or until tender.
6. Dice the beet, then combine with roasted squash and carrots. Add remaining marinade and zest to the cooked veggies, and stir in fresh basil.

Cooking Tips

1. To extract ginger juice, use a spoon or your hand to press freshly grated ginger against the mesh of a small strainer, collecting the juice in a bowl. You can also use a ginger press.
