4 tablespoons non-hydrogenated vegan margarine or 4 tablespoons light vegetable oil
4 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup soymilk, mixed with
1 teaspoon white vinegar
3 1/2 cups unbleached flour

  • Roll 1/2 the dough out onto a lightly floured board to a 1/2" thickness.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any mishaps.
  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of your chocolate will make a big difference in the final flavor of your dessert. Look for chocolate that is at least 70% cacao and has a smooth, velvety texture.
  • Temper your chocolate: Tempering is a process of heating and cooling chocolate in a specific way. This helps to stabilize the chocolate and give it a shiny, glossy finish. If you don't temper your chocolate, it will be more likely to seize and become grainy.
  • Don't overcook your chocolate: Chocolate is delicate and can easily be overcooked. Be careful not to let it boil or simmer for too long, or it will lose its flavor and become gritty.
  • Let your chocolate cool completely before serving: This will help it to set properly and develop its full flavor.
