Lemony Multigrain Mini Loaf! (Vegan)

I had planned to make some zesty lemon buns or loaf last week. Finally, got to it this week. The following measurement yields 2 mini loafs. Its a soft, squishy and lemony yeast bread! This can be shaped into small balls as well and placed an inch apart to make dinner rolls/buns.

This one is a keeper.. a refreshing mildly sweet bread with endless possibilities.. It makes for a great snack with Jams and Marmalade, or fresh tomatoes,basil and cheese. I am going to add some candied ginger or dried berries/raisins to it next time!
