Ingredients

Scale
  • 500 g (4 cups) white bread flour
  • 10 g (3 teaspoons) fast action yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 160 ml (⅔ cup) unsweetened non-dairy milk (e.g., soy)
  • 160 ml (⅔ cup) lukewarm water
  • 75 g (½ cup) raw cashews
  • 4 cloves garlic (peeled and crushed)
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast (on one side), salt, and sugar (on the other). Mix well.
  2. Add olive oil, non-dairy milk, and lukewarm water to the dry ingredients; stir until a cohesive dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise until doubled in size (1-2 hours).
  5. Meanwhile, soak cashews in boiling water for 15-20 minutes; then blend with garlic, nutritional yeast, salt, and water until smooth.
  6. Punch down the risen dough; shape into small balls (about 30g each).
  7. Arrange dough balls around a greased ramekin on a baking sheet; let rise again for 30-40 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 210°C (425°F). Brush dough balls with melted vegan butter infused with crushed garlic and herbs before baking for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Serve warm with the creamy cashew dip.
