Mission Impossible - Will This Meatless Cheesesteak Pass the Test

I tried making a bread recipe for my cheese steak rolls, and I have to say that it was a learning experience. I multiplied the recipe by two since there were a lot of people coming over, and I wanted extra rolls. However, I realized that the only thing keeping this bread from being vegan is the milk in the original recipe. To fix this, I replaced the milk with water to make the bread completely vegan.

To start making the bread, I began by mixing together 1 cup of warm milk, 4 tablespoons of sugar, and 5 teaspoons of yeast. The mixture looked like a thick paste at first, but after about 30 minutes to an hour, it had started to bubble and expand. This was a sign that the yeast was working its magic, and I knew that the bread would start to rise soon.

Next, I added 2 cups of water, my starter (which was made by mixing flour with some warm water), and 4 tablespoons of salt to the mixture. I let the dough sit for a while longer, until it had doubled in size. This allowed the yeast to continue working its magic, causing the dough to expand even further.

As I rolled out the dough, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and nervousness. The dough was sticky and difficult to work with, but I knew that it would all be worth it in the end. I tried one of the rolls, and while it didn't look like a traditional cheese steak roll, it actually tasted pretty good. However, I realized that the crust was burnt, which was a bit of a disappointment.

One of the biggest challenges I faced was trying to get the bread to rise properly. The oven temperature in my kitchen is different from the one at home, and this made a big difference in the final product. To fix this, I turned down the oven temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and tried again. This time, the crust didn't burn as badly, and the bread actually tasted really good.

As part of my Kiwanis Open Studios event, I'm opening up my studio to showcase some of my cooking creations. One of the dishes I'll be serving is cheese steak rolls made with vegan ingredients. While they may not look like traditional cheese steak rolls, they still taste amazing and are a great alternative for vegans.

I decided to try out an interesting twist on the classic cheesesteak recipe by using Impossible Burger instead of traditional beef or chicken. The idea was to create a cheese steak-inspired dish that just happened to be vegan. I'm excited to see how this turns out and what kind of reactions my guests will have when they take a bite.

My first test subject, Mary, is a vegetarian who has never had a cheese steak before. She's hesitant at first, but after taking a bite, she says it tastes like a real cheese steak. This was music to my ears! It just goes to show that with a little creativity and experimentation, you can create delicious vegan versions of classic dishes.

Next up is Alexandra, who's also never had a cheese steak before. She's a bit skeptical at first, but after trying the Impossible Burger version, she says it's "surprisingly good." This is exactly what I was hoping for - people who are open to new flavors and ingredients tend to be more receptive to vegan options.

The event has been going well so far, with many guests excited to try my cheese steak rolls. It's been great to see everyone's reactions to the Impossible Burger version, and I'm confident that it will become a hit. Who knows - maybe one day I'll even have a follow-up video where I experiment with more vegan recipes using the Impossible Burger.

As for tips and suggestions, I'd love to hear from my readers on what they think about trying new ingredients or experimenting with different recipes. Do you have any favorite vegan cheese steak options? Let me know in the comments below!
