Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 150 milliliters Lukewarm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 100 grams Firm tofu
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Liquid smoke
• 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
• 1 large Onion
• 200 grams Silken tofu
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Fresh chives
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Add the lukewarm water and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 2

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in an oiled bowl, cover, and let it rest in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.

Step 3

Meanwhile, prepare the tofu bacon. Crumble the firm tofu into small pieces. Mix with smoked paprika, soy sauce, liquid smoke, and nutritional yeast, ensuring the tofu is well-coated. Set aside to marinade.

Step 4

Slice the onion thinly. In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onions until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 5

For the vegan crème, blend silken tofu, lemon juice, minced garlic, and cornstarch in a food processor until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F).

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a thin rectangle or oval, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 8

Transfer the rolled dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 9

Spread the vegan crème evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 10

Distribute the caramelized onions and marinated tofu bacon evenly over the crème.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and golden.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped chives before serving.

Step 13

Slice, serve, and enjoy your Vegan Flammenkuchen!
