Preparation
- STEP 1 OF 9
In a bowl, combine the two flours (I used chestnut flour and type 1 soft wheat flour) with the salt and oil and give it a first mix with a fork.
- STEP 2 OF 9
At this point, add the water and start kneading with your hands before transferring the dough to a lightly floured work surface: you should obtain a soft and compact dough. Add water if necessary.
- STEP 3 OF 9
Cover and let rest in the fridge.
- STEP 4 OF 9
For the filling, clean 700 g of turnip greens, cook them for a few minutes in boiling salted water, then sauté them in a pan with oil and garlic and set aside.
- STEP 5 OF 9
With a mixer or immersion blender, blend a block of tofu with the soy drink, salt, nutritional yeast flakes, and lemon juice (or apple cider vinegar).
- STEP 6 OF 9
Combine the obtained mixture with the turnip greens and set aside.
- STEP 7 OF 9
On a lightly floured board, roll out the brisée dough to a thickness of about 3 mm.
- STEP 8 OF 9
Transfer it to a round mold with a diameter of about 22 cm. Prick the bottom and fill it with the turnip greens and tofu mixture.
- STEP 9 OF 9
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 40 minutes, until the base is crispy.
