Ingredients

• 250 g all-purpose flour
• 125 g vegan butter
• 120 ml plant-based milk
• 50 g sugar
• 7 g dry yeast
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp salt
• 150 g walnuts
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, gently warm the plant-based milk until just lukewarm.

Step 2

Add the sugar and dry yeast to the lukewarm milk, stir well, and let it sit for about 5 minutes or until it becomes frothy.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the vegan butter by cutting it into small cubes and mixing until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the apple cider vinegar and the yeast mixture into the flour until a dough begins to form.

Step 5

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a slightly greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise for about 1 hour in a warm spot or until it has doubled in size.

Step 7

For the filling, finely chop the walnuts and mix them with the maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.

Step 8

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large circle approximately 30 cm in diameter.

Step 9

Cut the circle into 8 equal triangles as if you are cutting a pizza.

Step 10

Place a spoonful of the nut filling at the broad end of each triangle.

Step 11

Starting from the broad end, roll each triangle towards the point to form a crescent shape.

Step 12

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 13

Place the rolled Gipfeli on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 14

Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 15

Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
