Description

Ingredients:

Dough

½ cup water or non-dairy milk (room temperature, add more if the dough is dry)

2 tsp active dry yeast

2 cups all-purpose flour

¼ tsp salt

Golden Butter

½ cup vegan butter/shortening

3 cloves garlic

salt to taste

Instructions:

Dough

1. Combine warm water or non-dairy milk (~90F) with active dry yeast, let it bubble up for 5 mins.

2. In a medium bowl, combine the AP flour and salt. Then add your yeast mixture and combine. The dough should be soft, but not dry or hard. If it's too dry add 1 tbsp of water in 2 min intervals till it's soft.

3. Knead the dough for 15 mins or until soft and springy

4. When the dough passes the windowpane test, shape it into a ball. Grease the bowl and dough with oil and cover with a towel or plastic wrap. Let it rest in a warm area until doubled in size.

Filling

1. While the dough is proofing, prepare your garlic butter.

2. In a saucepan add butter and garlic. Heat on low until the butter has melted and remove.

3. Let the mixture sit on the counter, the residue heat will cook the garlic.

Assemble

1. Pre-heat your oven at 395 F and oil a cake pan or baking dish.

2. When your dough has doubled in size, turn it out onto a floured surface.

3. Split your dough in half evenly. Then divide your dough into 9 equally sized pieces (~65g each)

4. Knead your dough into a sphere by creating a taut bottom and using the table to pinch everything together.

5. Cover the knots and allow them to prove for 1 hour or doubled in size.

6. Once proved, bake for 15-20 mins till golden brown.

7. Add the garlic butter and enjoy warm!
