Ingredients

• 1 cup almond milk
• 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
• 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 tablespoons chilled solid coconut oil
• 10 links vegan sausage
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Warm the almond milk to about 100°F (lukewarm) and mix in the active dry yeast and coconut sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add in the olive oil, chilled coconut oil, and the yeast mixture. Also, add the apple cider vinegar at this point.

Step 3

Mix until a dough forms. The dough should be smooth and elastic. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.

Step 4

Knead the dough for about 5 minutes on a floured surface, then place it in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 10 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.

Step 7

On a lightly floured surface, flatten each ball into a disk, large enough to encase a sausage link.

Step 8

Place a vegan sausage link in the center of each dough disk and roll the dough around it, pinching the edges to seal them securely.

Step 9

Arrange the kolaches seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the kolaches are golden brown.

Step 11

Allow to cool slightly before serving.
