Searing the Beef

Keep this loaf dairy free by using oat milk and plant-based butter.
Maple flakes add extra sweetness and texture but can be skipped.
Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers keep well at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerated up to 5 days.
Freezes beautifully for up to 2 months. Slice before freezing for convenience.
Delicious served warm with coffee or as a brunch centerpiece.

1

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly grease a 9X5 inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper to make it easier to lift loaf out.

2

In a large bowl, combine the vinegar (or lemon juice) and milk and coconut cream. Mix and let sit for 10 minutes. If using buttermilk, pour in bowl and continue straight to next step.

3

Add sugar, melted butter, maple syrup, and vanilla to milk. In another bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

4

Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour wet ingredients in. Gently fold just enough to combine, don’t overmix.

Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar and cinnamon. Mix the softened butter until a coarse crumble forms.

7

Sprinkle crumble topping evenly over the bread after 20 minutes. Careful not to shake the loaf tin! Continue to bake for another 60 minutes (depending on your oven), until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.

I’ll preface this by saying I’m not a chef — just someone who loves to cook and needed a place to gather and share the recipes that have shaped my kitchen.

 

From the classics that are always on rotation to the discoveries I’ve stumbled upon along the way, you’ll find them here. Each recipe is shared in its original form, with Anthology’s Notes added at the end to reflect the tweaks and touches that suit our table.

 

Over the years I’ve tried to make many recipes my own, so you’ll also see those variations woven in.

 

Basically: cook, taste, adjust, and repeat.
