Hummus Flatbread

-
I have a lot of hummus. They keep putting it on sale. Even though the grocery store is short of a lot of things, hummus is wonderfully abundant. I thought that it's creamy texture and high flavor content might make a good addition to bread.

What dedicated vegan doesn't love a fresh made bread? I practically live on the stuff.

Flatbread is so much simpler than a yeast bread. You can bang some out in no time at all.

Flatbread Ingredients
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tbls nutritional yeast
2 tbls ground flax seed
2 heaping tbls of your favorite flavor of hummus
1 tbl olive oil
1 tbl salt
1 tbl garlic powder
2 tps aleppo pepper flakes
1/2 cup water

Cooking Oil Ingredients
1 garlic clove, peeled and sliced into, but still intact
1 tbl olive oil

Mix together bread ingredients into a loose dough. Knead with your hand to finish. Knead for a few minutes to get a smooth dough. Cover and set aside.

Heat oil in a cast iron skillet. Add garlic clove and fry it in the oil. Turn the garlic to brown on all sides. Remove garlic.

Tear off a piece of the dough and shape into a 3 inch ball. Use a tortilla press to flatten. I don't have one, so I folded the dough in a silicone baking mat and pressed it down with my hands. Flatten to 1/8 inch thickness.

Fry in the garlic oil until golden on both sides.

Enjoy after cooled for a few minutes.

Store leftovers in a container covered with a kitchen towel. Do not refrigerate. Do not store airtight.

Vegan No Bake White Fudge Blondie Recipe

I love to bake. I'm not a super serious baker, but I enjoy it and am pretty good at it. However, I hate to bake in the summer. I really don't like to use the oven at all once the temperatures go above 80 F. On the other hand, I want to enjoy my desserts all year round. So I've come up with a few dessert recipes over the years that don't need to be baked. This one is like a cross between white fudge and blondies. It's made entirely in the food processor. Then you set it in the fridge.  Ingredients 1 can chick peas, thoroughly rinsed 1/4 cup ground cashews 1/3 cup ground old fashioned oats 1/2 cup allulose 2 tsps vanilla extract 2 tbls original flavor almond milk 1 tsp salt Instructions For the best texture, process the cashews and the oats in a spice grinder first. You can skip this step, but the texture will not be as smooth.  Add all the ingredients to your food processor and let it go until you have a dense dough. Scraping down the edges a few times to make sure e...

Chick Pea Cheesecake Recipe

bestvegetarianveganrecipes.blogspot.com  This is a dessert I never would've dreamt up just a year ago. But ever since I learned how to make chocolate chip cookies with chick peas , I've been experimenting with using them in all sorts of other recipes. In this case, an irresistible marble cheesecake.  The more amazing part, besides the use of chick peas in a cheesecake, is the fact that it's actually very easy to make. And unlike traditional cheesecake recipes, it's nearly foolproof.  This recipe is egg-free and sugar-free, but not dairy free. Vegan cream cheese would probably work, but I have yet to try it.  Ingredients for Filling 1 can chick peas, thoroughly rinsed 1 room temp 8 oz block of cream cheese 2/3 cups allulose 1 1/2 tbls cocoa powder 1 tbl vanilla extract 2 tbls baking powder 1 tsp salt 1-2 tbls almond milk Ingredients for Crust 1 cup old fashioned oats 1/2 cup roasted almonds 1/2 cup allulose 1 tbl almond milk 1.2 tsp salt Make the crust first because i...
