Ingredients

• 2 cups white bread flour, plus extra for dusting
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ tablespoon instant dry yeast
• ⅔ cup warm water
• 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided 2 cups mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 6 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
• ½ cup vegan butter
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Method

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour with salt and yeast, then make a well in the middle. Pour water into well, along with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Mix ingredients together until dough forms, then transfer to a well-floured surface and knead for 10 minutes.
2. Lightly oil medium bowl with 1 tablespoon oil, then place dough in bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Leave it to proof somewhere warm for 1 hour until dough has doubled in size.
3. In a frying pan over high heat, warm remaining tablespoon oil. Add mushrooms to pan and fry for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Into a medium bowl, add garlic, fried mushrooms, butter, salt, and pepper, and stir. Set aside.
4. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Punch dough a few times to remove air bubbles and transfer to a well-floured work surface. Flour rolling pin and roll dough into a rectangle roughly 12 x 4 inches. Trim edges to create neat straight lines. Spread mushroom and garlic filling over entire surface of dough, then roll into a log. Create individual swirls by cutting log into slices at 1-inch intervals.
5. Arrange swirls in a circle in an ovenproof dish spaced 1⁄2 inch apart, and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Leave to proof for another 20 minutes. Bake swirls 20 minutes until dough turns a light golden brown color.
6. Remove from oven and brush top of swirls with any melted butter that has collected in middle of dish. Serve warm.
