Vegan Sweet Curried Bread Loaf

This curried bread loaf is savory, sweet, and so delicious! It's great on its own or as part of a dish but I prefer it on charcuterie boards!

I was never a bread lover because I grew up on eating rice with every meal, but moving to Colorado made me appreciate the delicious appeal of bread. I always wanted to try and make my own bread, but I was always very intimidated. I was gifted a bread making kit and decided to try it out and developed this bread recipe, so I hope you enjoy it because I definitely devoured it!

Anyone who has made bread knows how long of a process it can be because you need to wait for the bread to rise and prove. Although I won’t always be making my bread from scratch, there is nothing that tastes better than a fresh homemade loaf of bread! I hope you give this a try because if I can make bread, then I promise you can too, so ENJOY!
