Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.
Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients, mixing gently. Once combined, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the risen dough and transfer it back to your floured surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each piece into a smooth ball.
Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, and nutritional yeast.
Brush each dough ball with the oil mixture, ensuring they are completely coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are lightly golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Enjoy your vegan soft and chewy dough balls fresh out of the oven, or store them in an airtight container for later.
