Vegetable Bread Sticks
Makes 40 breadsticks or 2 loaves
1 cup instant potato flakes
1 cup water
6 Tbsp. nut or grain milk
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 package dry yeast
2 Tbsp. Sucanat
3/4 cup nut or grain milk (105� - 115�)
5 cups bread flour, divided
1/4 cup vegan margarine, softened
1 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. cider vinegar
1 fake egg*
Cooking spray or oil with brush
1. Combine first 5 ingredients; set aside.
2. Dissolve yeast and sugar in 3/4 cup warm nut or grain
milk in a large bowl, and let sugar mixture stand 5 minutes. Add 2 cups
flour, potato mixture (first 5 ingredients), margarine, salt, vinegar,
and fake egg, and beat mixture at medium speed until smooth. Stir in 1
cup flour to form a sticky dough. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured
surface. Knead dough until smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes), and
add enough of the remaining flour to prevent dough from sticking to
hands.
3. Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking
spray or oil, turning to coat top. Cover dough, and let rise in a warm
place (85�), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
4. Punch dough down, and divide in half. Working with
one portion at a time (cover remaining dough to keep from drying), roll
dough into a 10 � 7-inch rectangle. Cut dough crosswise into 20
(7-inch-long) 1/2- inch-wide strips. Gently twist strips of dough.
Repeat with remaining dough. Place dough twists 1 inch apart on two
baking sheets coated with cooking spray or oil. Cover dough twists, and
let rise in a warm place (85�), free from drafts, 30 minutes or until
doubled in bulk.
5. Preheat oven to 350�.
6. Uncover breadsticks. Bake breadsticks at 350� for
18 to 20 minutes. If in loaf pans, bake 30 minutes. Remove from pan, and
let cool on wire racks.
7. *Fake Egg: Use any of the eggless
possibilities. The flaxseed meal or the baking powder/soda both work
well.
