I made 280 vegan pastries to make omnivores want to try it for free 🤭😍

I had the chance to present my vegan cookbook in a big library the other day, so I baked enough pastries to get the attention of omnivores during their shopping 🤭🤭
It worked out pretty well! They were really eager to learn more about vegan cuisine.

If you want more ideas, I have a vegan cooking app : https://elinestable.com/app

Here is what I baked :

• lemon and olive oil loaves
• madeleines
• maple and pecan brioches
• lavender cookies
• chocolate cookies

I planned to do a soft pear cake but I thought I had enough 🤭

The maple and pecan brioches were the first to disappear, so here is the recipe (from my cookbook only in French, so I translated the recipe) :

For the brioche dough :

• 125 ml (½ cup) plant-based milk
• 1 tbsp active dry yeast
• 250 g (1 ⅔ cups) all-purpose flour (T55)
• 50 g (¼ cup) sugar
• 65 g (⅓ cup) plant-based margarine, melted

For the filling :

• 65 g (⅓ cup) plant-based margarine
• 65 ml (¼ cup) maple syrup
• 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 80 g (1 cup) pecans

1— Prepare the brioche dough: In a saucepan over low heat, warm the milk until it reaches a temperature between 36°C and 43°C (97°F and 109°F). No need to invest in a kitchen thermometer — just aim for bathwater temperature. Add the dry yeast to rehydrate it. After a few minutes, a foam should form, indicating the yeast is active.

2— In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, salt, milk with the yeast, and the plant-based margarine. Shape into a ball and knead lightly. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise for 1 hour 30 minutes.

3— Prepare the filling: In a bowl, mix the margarine, maple syrup, and spices. Roughly chop the pecans.

4— Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

5— Flour your work surface and roll out the brioche dough with a rolling pin to form a rectangle of about 20 cm × 30 cm (8 in × 12 in). Spread the spiced filling over the dough. Sprinkle with the chopped pecans and fold the dough lengthwise.

6— Cut 6 strips, twist each one, and roll them up. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

7— Bake for 20 to 24 minutes.
