Instructions
- Heat almond milk in the microwave in a small bowl for 20 to 25 seconds or until warm to the touch, not too hot or it will kill the yeast.
- Stir in the sugar and sprinkle the yeast over the warm milk, allow to proof for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Prepare a 7x11 or 9x13 by brushing with oil or spraying with a non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl whisk (Affiliate Link) together the flour, salt and thyme. Add in the milk mixture and melted vegan butter.
- Mix until the dough comes together. Transfer to a floured work surface, sprinkle dough with a small amount of flour and knead dough for 5 minutes.
- Rub large bowl with vegan butter and place the dough in the bowl, cover and let rise 50 to 60 minutes.
- While dough is rising place all of the blueberry sauce ingredients in a small pot over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, once boiling reduce heat to medium low and simmer 10 to 15 minutes or until sauce has started to thicken. Transfer to a small bowl cover and allow to cool. Such will thicken as it cools.
