Flaxseed meal is a vegan substitute that binds well.

Start by adding the dried yeast and a little warm water to a large mixing bowl. Mix and leave for 5 minutes.

Now add honey, milk, and sunflower oil to the bowl, but not the flour, and mix well.

You can make this bread with all milk or a 50/50 mix of water and milk, this is up to you.

Now add your flour and mix well.

You have to knead this bread for at least 5 minutes; give it a good pounding to make sure the mixture all comes together.

You may have to add a little more water or milk to create the right dough mix.

Now we have to double wrap the bowl in plastic wrap or cling film and set aside for about one hour. This time will allow the dough to expand; we are looking for it to double in size.

Now oil or grease your tin and add the mixture; cover with foil and bake in a preheated oven for 30 minutes at 190°C.
