Whole Wheat Touton

The Plantastic Vegan

I'm a Vegan trying hard to eat a Whole Food Plant Based No Oil diet. I like to try different bloggers recipes.

1 cup warm water

1 tsp maple syrup

1½ tsp dry active yeast

3 to 4 cups whole wheat flour (I use 400 grams of King Arthur's white whole wheat flour)

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

½ tsp salt

Mix maple syrup in ½ cup of lukewarm water and add yeast. Cover and let stand until yeast foams (approx 10 minutes).

In a mixing bowl, add 3 cups of flour and make a well in the center. Add oil, salt, and dissolved yeast. Mix mixture utilizing remaining water, forming a soft firm dough (add extra flour from 4th cup if necessary).

Place dough on a lightly floured surface and knead for approx 10 to 12 minutes. Cover with bread-cloth and let rise for 1 hr or until dough doubles in size.

Punch down the dough and let rest for 15 minutes. Cut in pieces (size of a walnut). Round them and let them rest for approx 10 min. Let proof until dough almost doubles in size. Take each piece of dough; flatten or stretch until ½“ thick.

In a skillet, med-high heat, fry dough in oil until golden brown on both sides.
