A very close friend of mine recently bought a bread maker and made these wonderful vegan loaves for me. I am not vegan myself, but we have a dinner party soon, and one of our guests (who is vegan) will be bringing her own Beef Wellington and no doubt other dishes too. Our guest never wants us to "make a fuss over her" but instead discreetly places her own food on the table alongside everything else. When I mentioned this to my friend (the bread maker) she promptly made us these vegan loaves; one using wheat and the other using white flour. Not that my friend stops there, she's also made me Black Russian and saffron and raisin bread too. That's the kind of friend we all want!
