My twist on the famous Arabic dough recipe and I played around and created Almond Milk Arabic dough with Bacon Bits and Cheese (Veganized)
Almond Milk Arabic Dough with Bacon Bits and Cheese
True to my nature, that is 99.9% of the time, I will use a recipe as a starting point and modify it as I go along.
As I wanted to see if this famous Arabic dough will work and can be modified to “Vegan” I decided to use Almond Milk and omit the milk powder.
As my vegan family members, were unable to join and thus could not share in this batch, I then decided to add some bacon and cheese to the mix as another part of my experiment. You can keep it vegan by omitting the bacon and using vegan cheese if you like.
