⭐ Silken Tofu (blended with 1 teaspoon lemon juice per 1 cup sour cream) (Best Vegan Option)
1 cup silken tofu + 1 teaspoon lemon juice per 1 cup sour cream Quick tip: Silken tofu provides moisture and protein but lacks natural acidity, so lemon juice is added to mimic sour cream’s tang.
Silken tofu offers a creamy texture and moisture similar to sour cream, and the added lemon juice introduces acidity to support yeast fermentation. The protein content helps maintain dough structure.
Blend tofu thoroughly with lemon juice until smooth. Use full-fat silken tofu for best texture. Be cautious with lemon juice quantity to avoid overpowering flavor.
The bread will have a neutral flavor with a subtle tang and a tender crumb, though the rise may be slightly less robust than with sour cream.
