Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 120 grams Vegan butter, cold and diced
- 60 milliliters Iced water
- 60 grams Sesame seeds
- 30 grams Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Vegan milk
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt together.
Add the cold vegan butter to the flour mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add iced water, stirring gently, until the dough holds together but is not sticky. You may not need all of the water.
Gather the dough into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a rectangle about 3mm thick.
Brush the surface with maple syrup, then sprinkle evenly with half of the sesame seeds and half of the sugar.
Fold the dough into thirds, like a business letter, and roll it out again to a thin rectangle.
Brush with more maple syrup, sprinkle with the remaining sesame seeds and sugar.
Cut the rolled dough into evenly sized rectangles or squares as desired.
Place the prepared pieces onto the lined baking sheet, and brush them with vegan milk to help with a golden finish.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your vegan sesame pastries!
