Ingredients
Scale
For the dough:
- 1.5 cups lukewarm 90-105 degree water
- One package (2 1/4 tsp)
rapid rising yeast - 3 TB sugar
- 1 3/4 cups gf flour
- 1/4 cup soft soy free vegan butter,
OR homemade (recipe is top 8 free, seed, legume & corn free) - 1/4 cup applesauce or potato water also works) *see notes
- 1/2 tsp salt
For the beef:
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1/2 small onion, diced
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 3 TB mustard, OR 1 tsp powdered turmeric
- 1 tsp salt + 1/4 tsp pepper, OR homemade taco seasoning, for a bit more spice
- 1 cup Daiya or violife cheddar cheese, OR homemade (if corn and legume free)
- 2–6 TB olive oil, for brushing the tops of dough
- optional: sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Follow the instructions #2-7 to make dough, OR grab premade dough out of the freezer or fridge and let come to room temperature.
- Mix lukewarm (95-105F) water, sugar, and yeast together. Let sit for 15 mins. (It should have 1/4 foam on top. If it didn’t, try this step again with a new packet of yeast. Your yeast was not good or your water too hot).
- In this order mix the butter & flour, applesauce, salt, and proofed yeast mixture. Keep mixing, till a dough ball forms.
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Meanwhile, sauté onion, beef, ketchup, mustard, and all seasonings in a pan on medium heat. Once meat is fully cooked and onions are translucent, incorporate vegan cheese, till melted, and set aside.
- Next, divide dough ball in half. Toss the two dough balls with 2-4TB extra all-purpose gluten free flour. Then, roll out each dough ball into an 8×16” rectangle between two pieces of parchment. Dough should be about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut both 8×16” rectangles into 4 equal sized rectangles. Then, cut each of the smaller rectangles into 2 acute triangles by slashing the rectangle in half. Each rectangle should end up looking like this:
- Lay out your 16 triangles onto an extra large lightly oiled or parchment lined baking sheet in the shape of a sun, each triangle piece overlapping the other by 3/4 inch. (You can always make two 8 triangle rings, if one 16 ring is too large for your baking sheet).
- Spoon beef mixture on the half of each triangle closest to center of ring.
- Bring each dough triangle up over filling, tucking dough under bottom layer of dough to secure it. Repeat around ring until entire filling is enclosed (some filling might show a little).
- Brush olive oil on top and add sesame seeds (or white poppyseeds if allergic to sesame), if desired.
- Bake 20-25 mins.
- Let cool for 5 mins before serving. We like putting tomatoes, lettuce, avocado, salsa, and olives in the middle of the ring when served.
