Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cup Vegan butter
• 8 Vegan sausages
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Aquafaba

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, heat the almond milk and vegan butter over low heat until the butter is melted. Remove from heat and let cool to lukewarm.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Pour the lukewarm almond milk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough begins to form.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. The dough should be soft but not sticky.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 6

While the dough is rising, prepare the sausages. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the vegan sausages for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned. Set aside to cool.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 8

Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces.

Step 9

On a floured surface, roll each piece into a ball, then flatten into a small rectangle large enough to wrap around a sausage.

Step 10

Place a cooled sausage in the center of each dough rectangle and roll the dough around it, pinching the seams to seal.

Step 11

Place the wrapped sausages seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 12

Brush the tops of each kolache with aquafaba for a golden finish.

Step 13

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

Step 14

Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious vegan sausage kolaches!
