CRISPY BOTTOM VEGGIE BUNS

Recipe (makes 10 buns)⁣

Dough:
300g [~2 1/2 cups] all-purpose flour (see notes below if using cups)⁣
175ml [3/4 cup] hot boiling water⁣
pinch of salt⁣

Filling:⁣
1/2lb (250g) green beans, chopped⁣
16oz firm tofu, pressed & mashed⁣
1 small carrot, finely chopped⁣
a handful of chopped cilantro⁣
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, 1 teaspoon salt, a few shakes of white pepper⁣
Other ingredients: oil for cooking, sesame seeds, chopped green onion⁣.

Method.

1. To make the dough, mix flour & salt in a large bowl until well combined. Make a well in the middle & pour in hot water. Using a spatula, fold in all flour until a shaggy dough forms with no dry spots of flour in the bowl (if it does, add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time). Transfer flour to a cleaned surface & knead until a smooth dough forms, about 10mins. Cover with a damp towel & rest for 30 mins.⁣

2. Meanwhile, place tofu in a cheesecloth bag & wring out all the liquid. Saute chopped green beans with 1 teaspoon oil in a pan for about 1-2 mins. Add green beans into a bowl along with tofu, carrot & seasoning ingredients. Mix well & divide the mixture into 10 portions & form it into a patty-like shape.⁣

3. When ready, dust flour on the surface, roll dough into a log & divide into 10 equal balls.⁣

4. To assemble, take one dough, flatten it with your palm & roll into a wrapper, about 4.5 inches diameter by keeping the middle part thicker Place one filling patty in the middle & pleat to seal. Dab the smooth side with water then gently press in some sesame seeds.⁣

5. To cook the buns (baked/pan-fried), see comments section👇🏻…⁣ 📝Note: To measure flour in the cup, I used the spoon & sweep method. Spoon flour into a standard measuring cup, then level the top with a knife without packing the flour, which I had about ~63g in 1/2 cup.

HOMEMADE VEGAN FLAT BREAD

Ingredients.

3 1/3 (+ 1/4 cup more if needed) cups bread flour
1-1/2 cups + 2 tbsp warm unsweetened almond milk
2 tablespoons sugar (I used cane sugar or coconut sugar)
1 package active dry yeast
2 tablespoons vegan butter, melted
1/2 tsp teaspoons salt
Avocado oil or olive oil

Method.

1. Heat almond milk in microwave for 45 seconds or until warm. In the bowl combine warm almond milk and sugar, mix to combine then sprinkle yeast over the top of the almond milk. Allow to sit for about 5 minutes.

2. Add melted vegan butter and salt. Add flour a cup at a time until you’ve added 3-1/3 cups and mix until well combined. Dough will be really sticky but keep mixing / needing with your hands. If way too sticky add 1/4 cup more of flour. Keep kneading with your hands for about 4-5 minutes.

3. Transfer the dough to a bowl that has been coated with cooking spray or olive oil. Place a dish cloth over the bowl and allow bowl to sit on your counter for an hour or until doubled in size. Divide dough into 8 equal pieces. Using a rolling pin, roll dough into circles.

4. Heat a pan to medium heat. Brush the top of each dough circle with a small bit of avocado oil (or olive oil) and place the flat bread oil side down onto the grill. When the bottom side is browned, turn over the bread, and grill the other side until golden. Remove from heat, brush a bit more of oil on top and sprinkle with salt. Enjoy with hummus, as a wrap or how ever you wish! .
