In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautΓ©ing until translucent.
Add the chopped mushrooms to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes until they release moisture and begin to brown. Stir in the spinach and grated carrot, cooking until the spinach wilts.
In a large bowl, combine the sautΓ©ed vegetables with crumbled tofu, nutritional yeast, grated nutmeg, black pepper, and soy sauce. Mix well to form the filling.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 2mm thickness. Cut into large rectangular pieces, approximately 12x15cm.
Place about 2 tablespoons of filling on one half of each dough piece, leaving edges bare. Fold over the other half, sealing the edges well with water to enclose the filling.
Bring the vegetable broth to a gentle boil in a large pot. Reduce heat to a simmer. Carefully add the Maultaschen and cook for about 10 minutes until the dough is tender.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the Maultaschen from the pot. Serve warm, optionally with a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
