Ingredients:

  • 1 ⅝ cups flour
  • 7g dry yeast
  • 3g salt
  • 180ml hot almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 45g vegan butter
  • 1 flaxseed egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water, let sit for 5 minutes)
  • 125g vegan grated cheese
  • 3 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • Softened vegan butter (for brushing)
  • Plant-based milk (for wash)

Preparation:

  1. Prepare the Dough:
  • In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the yeast, hot almond milk, vegan butter, and flaxseed egg. Whisk to combine the liquids, then gradually incorporate the flour from the sides.
  • Knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Form it into a ball and let it rest in a lightly greased bowl, covered, for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  1. Assemble the Bread:
  • Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then roll out into a rectangle.
  • Brush two rectangles with softened vegan butter and sprinkle with vegan grated cheese and chopped parsley. Place the remaining rectangles of dough on top.
  1. Shape and Bake:
  • Roll lightly with a rolling pin to press the layers together. Cut the dough into strips and twist each strip into a spiral shape.
  • Place the twisted breadsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each. Let them rest for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Brush the breadsticks with plant-based milk.
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
