Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 150 grams Vegan butter
- 120 milliliters Almond milk
- 7 grams Active dry yeast
- 25 grams Sugar
- 5 grams Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 60 milliliters Maple syrup (for serving)
- 10 grams Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, warm the almond milk in the microwave or on the stovetop until just lukewarm. Stir in the sugar and active dry yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir until a dough begins to form.
Step 3
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour, but avoid making it too dry.
Step 4
Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a lightly oiled bowl, and cover it with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Step 5
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer to a floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle approximately 1cm thick.
Step 6
Spread the vegan butter evenly over two-thirds of the dough rectangle. Fold the unbuttered third over the middle third, then fold the other side over to create a letter fold.
Step 7
Rotate the dough 90 degrees, roll it out again to the original size, and repeat the folding process. This will give you layers in your croffle. Wrap the folded dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Step 8
Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 9
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out once more to the original rectangle size. Fold into thirds again and return it to the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Step 10
Take the dough out and cut into 8 equal triangles or rectangles.
Step 11
Place each piece of dough into the waffle maker, cooking until golden and crispy, approximately 3-5 minutes per piece.
Step 12
Serve warm with maple syrup drizzled over the top and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
