Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Vital wheat gluten
- 0.5 cups Chickpea flour
- 0.25 cups Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1.25 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Miso paste
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 sheet Puff pastry (vegan)
- 2 tablespoons Plant-based milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vital wheat gluten, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, vegetable broth, olive oil, miso paste, tomato paste, and maple syrup.
Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes elastic and well combined.
Shape the dough into a log about 12 inches long.
Wrap the log tightly in aluminum foil, twisting the ends to secure it.
Place the wrapped log on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before unwrapping.
Roll out the vegan puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.
Place the cooked 'meat' log onto the pastry and wrap it securely, ensuring to seal the edges.
Brush the top of the puff pastry with plant-based milk to encourage browning.
Place the roll back onto the baking sheet and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the pastry is golden and crispy.
Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
