dairy free wheat bread recipe

[astar326]

I have just started a dairy free journey (with in the past week) due to my and my son's eczema. I was wondering if anyone has a good dairy free wheat bread (no-knead) recipe? or any other dairy free (especially desert) recipes?

Coconut milk is a good substitute in baking (I make flan, creme brulee with it, and rice pudding), you can also use it in cakes and muffins. I know I used to use rice milk when I made English muffins (before we became gluten free as well). There's a really good coconut milk ice cream (So Delicious, I think it is; I stare at it in the freezer all the time, but can never remember the name - sorry). They also make fudgsicle type bar ones. They're expensive but worth it for a special treat. We also make our own ice cream with coconut milk. I make brownies that don't have dairy. And cookies. Don't worry. It's not that hard!

For any dairy, just sub in a dairy substitute milk: rice, almond, soy, coconut, etc.

Rice will give the driest result. I found I needed more rice milk than other milks in almost all my recipes.

Soy gives the best 'moisture' retention. Also the least obvious in terms of flavor.

Unsweetened almond milk is a close second to soy milk. Doesn't leave much, if any flavor, gives a nice moistness in the baked goods.

Coconut milk is nice too, but it definitely leaves a flavor. Good for creme brullee, puddings, etc. Not so good for mashed potatoes, plain bread, etc. However, it is even better at the moisture retention aspect in bread. But really not good in savory stuff.
