Watch Me Tweet

The New Thursday Twitter Series

Yesterday I set something in motion that I wasn't intending to but I'm going to go with the flow.Starting... well yesterday i suppose, every Wednesday I'll be asking something over Twitter and every Thursday I will be posting whatever it happens to be. This week as you can see from the screen shot above i asked the vegans who are following me what the one thing the miss is that they wish they knew how to make vegan. A few people gave a couple of things so I will pick one and give a recipe and for the rest I will provide a link if I can find one.

I do not claim these to be my own

Writergal85 said that the things she missed most were pizza, lasagna, eggplant parm. brie and tomato sandwich.

I'm going to give a recipe that my girlfriend and I mixed and matched together for the greatest pizza we have ever had

Ingredients:

• Any crust that you can find that is vegan
• For sauce i like to go with Ragu's Homemade Style Pizza Sauce
• 1 Tomato
• 1 Onion
• Cheeze
• Basil
• Oregano
• Olive Oil
  

Directions:

I usually start by slicing up your onion and tomato to whatever thickness suites you. Then brush on some oil on both sides of the crust and spread your sauce over the top. After that, follow the link that i attached to "Cheeze" above. After you get that going pre-heat the oven to whatever temperature the crust calls for. When your cheeze is done evenly spread it over the top of the pizza and lay your onion and tomato down. Brush the toppings with some more oil and sprinkle with your basil and oregano and cook using the directions for the crust. Enjoy

In2Design wanted a Paska Bread which is something I've never heard of. I found a non-vegan recipe that I am going to post below and suggest what should be changed. I've never made one so this is just suggestion, I'm not promising perfection...

INGREDIENTS

• 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
• 1/2 cup warm water
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 3 cups warm milk (Use soy milk)
  
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 6 eggs, beaten (use 3 tablespoons of silken tofu and the equivelent of 3 eggs with egg replacer)
  
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 cup margarine, softened (soybutter)
  
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
• 12 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 egg (equivelent of 1 eggs with egg replacer)
  
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted (soy butter)
  

DIRECTIONS

1. Proof the yeast in 1/2 cup warm water in a large bowl until slightly frothy.
2. In the meantime, dissolve 1/2 cup sugar in the warm milk. Cool to lukewarm. Once cooled, add the milk mixture to the yeast mixture along with four cups of flour. Mix well with a wooden spoon. Cover and put in a dark, warm place until the mixture is bubbly and doubled in size, about 2 hours.
3. Stir in the beaten eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, margarine, salt, and lemon peel. Stir well to blend. Begin adding the remaining flour a cup at a time to form a very soft dough.
4. Knead the dough on a floured board until soft and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat both sides. Allow to rise in a warm place until doubled, about 2 hours. Punch dough down, and allow to rise again for 30 minutes.
5. Divide dough into three parts. Shape into slightly rounded loaves, and place on greased baking sheets. Let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Beat 1 egg with 1 tablespoon water; brush onto loaves.
6. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 to 50 minutes, or until done. Once they are done, brush the tops with melted butter for a soft crust.
