How to Prepare Orange Walnut Cronut [Vegan]

  1. Begin by proofing yeast. Mix warm water, yeast, and 1/2 teaspoon sugar in a small bowl. Set aside to foam.
  2.  In the bowl of a stand mixer, add all dry ingredients. Stir to combine.
  3.  Attach dough hook attachment and add remaining wet ingredients, including yeast mixture. Mix on low for 3-4 minutes, until combined and a soft dough forms. If you don't have a mixer with a dough hook, you can complete the previous step by hand using a wooden spoon and a large bowl.
  4.  Using a spatula, scrape the dough away from the sides of the bowl. Set aside and cover with a clean towel Let rise for about 90 minutes.
  5.  Prepare a baking sheet by covering with parchment paper or greasing with non-stick spray. Place on the prepared baking sheet and let rise again for another 45 minutes-1 hour.
  6.  Heat oven to 375°F.
  7. Remove the dough from the bowl and roll out on a flat floured surface. It should be about 1/2-inch thick. Using a small bowl, ramekin, mason jar, or any other round container, cut out the cronuts. Then, using the back of an icing tip (or any other small round object), press into the center of the cronut to make a hole. Place each cronut on the baking sheet and let rise for another 10-15 minutes. Continue until all the dough has been used.
  8. Bake the cronuts for 6-8 minutes, or until very slightly browned.
  9.  In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil and chocolate chips. Once melted, use a spoon or pastry bag to drizzle the chocolate over the cronuts. Top with chopped walnuts. Store extras in an airtight container for 1-2 days.

  2. These look good, but need more directions. Is the dough rolled out, cut in rounds, cut as doughnuts with holes, placed on sheet to let rise a second time? How many does this make?
