Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 125 grams
• Water - 75 milliliters
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Vegan cream cheese - 100 grams
• Smoked tempeh - 100 grams, thinly sliced
• Onion - 1 medium, thinly sliced
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Nutritional yeast - 2 tablespoons
• Black pepper - to taste
• Fresh chives - for garnish

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, water, olive oil, and salt, and knead until a smooth dough forms. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
3. While the dough rests, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add a splash of water and the sliced onions. Sauté until they become translucent and start to caramelize, about 8-10 minutes. Add the minced garlic and stir for another minute.
4. In the same skillet, add the sliced smoked tempeh and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Season with black pepper and set aside.
5. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a thin rectangle, about 2-3 mm thick.
6. Transfer the rolled dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Spread the vegan cream cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
8. Top the cream cheese with the caramelized onions and sautéed tempeh, then sprinkle nutritional yeast over the top.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
10. Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh chives, slice, and serve hot.
