Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 150 milliliters Lukewarm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 100 grams Firm tofu
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Liquid smoke
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
- 1 large Onion
- 200 grams Silken tofu
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Add the lukewarm water and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in an oiled bowl, cover, and let it rest in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Meanwhile, prepare the tofu bacon. Crumble the firm tofu into small pieces. Mix with smoked paprika, soy sauce, liquid smoke, and nutritional yeast, ensuring the tofu is well-coated. Set aside to marinade.
Slice the onion thinly. In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onions until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
For the vegan crème, blend silken tofu, lemon juice, minced garlic, and cornstarch in a food processor until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F).
Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a thin rectangle or oval, about 1/4 inch thick.
Transfer the rolled dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Spread the vegan crème evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Distribute the caramelized onions and marinated tofu bacon evenly over the crème.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and golden.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped chives before serving.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your Vegan Flammenkuchen!
