was that someone's phone?
that was lauren's phone.
ughh
she gets in trouble now.
amateur move.
so annoying.
put the phone on silent, come on.
it's like day 1 of film school.
hey guys it's john -and lauren from hot for food
and we're back, for another
CHALLENGE VIDEO.
last time was the munchies challenge,
i won with my mac and cheese burrito
you had, -i had the freak shake.
which was pretty freaking awesome
but you won.
62% for john 37% for me
we had the little poll card on the top corner
that youtube now has it implemented
which is a great way of tallying the votes,
little more accurate than us hand-counting,
so you won, and i was surprisingly most people,
not most people, but
quite a few people didn't know what 420 was
maybe it's a canadian thing.
i don't know
anyways today we're gonna be doing THE APPETIZER CHALLENGE
um, so small foods
things you would eat -well it's like summer time, right?
so like you're gonna be going to people's barbeque,
potlucks, so you want something that you can bring
and wow the guests
and share, of course, not eat all to yourself
it's clearly the morning when we're shooting this,
cos we're drinking coffee!
but now we're gonna make our appetizers
so do you know what you're making?
yes, but i'm not telling you,
cos it's a secret
i'll tell you though. - no, you made me get the dough out last night
so i know you're making something with dough
you plug your ears and i'll tell the camera
i'm gonna make
i don't know what i'm gonna make
i know i wanna make mini pizza something though,
so either pizza rolls,
um, pizza finger, little like
mini pizza bites, i guess?
something?
no, you can't make a pizza and cut it into small pieces
that doesn't count!
i also got some dough out of the freezer last night
and i have um, puff pastry
vegan puff pastry i found at the store,
you know how when you would buy appetizers already in a box
in the freezer section like sausage rolls or whatever
they're always in puff pastry so
i'm gonna make some kind of miniature puff pastry roll
that's when everyone like, people like
'oh no! guests are coming over!' -yea yea yea
and they like pull open the freezer
and it will just be like from the box
to the thing, and there'll be four different flavors
like yours are like those pizza bagels
how does that song go?
that pizza bagel song?
uh, it goes pizza in the morning,
pizza in the evening,
pizza at supper time.
when pizza's on a bagel -when pizza's on the table~
no
when pizza's on a bagel!
you can have pizza anytime~
i don't think you can sing that,
that's so copyright -yes i can
the last part you can sing!
i'm gonna start with just chopping my veggies,
i'm gonna keep these pretty simple
and i'm just gonna do like
green peppers, green onion, and some vegan pepperoni
as i always do in these videos,
i seem to be using premade
product, this is just like a vegan pepperoni but
you know what, i'm cooking for the everyman
i'm using leftover pasta sauce, so
it's not actually seasoned for pizza sauce
they're really the same but i'm gonna add some fresh basil and oregano
just to kind of, make it a bit more pizza-y
and the last thing we're gonna use
is just a vegan shredded mozzarella
alright, so we're gonna roll out the dough now,
we're gonna start by lightly flouring our surface
workspace area, here.
and this piece of dough is pretty big, so
i'm gonna slice it into two pieces and
that'll be two separate rolls.
try to make this as square as possible
so you're essentially just making a pizza,
and then just rolling it up.
make sure you don't go all the way to the edge,
cos this is gonna be where you roll over and seal the buns
so cut it in half,
and then i'm gonna do it into quarters
so you're gonna get 8 pieces per roll.
just gonna lightly oil a baking tray,
and now we're gonna cover the pizza rolls in plastic wrap,
and a tea towel, and leave at room temperature to prove for 2 hours
alright, so those have to prove while i make
my appetizer.
i don't know what i'm doing, i'm making it up
i don't know where i got this idea, it just came to me one night
as like a vision
so
i was on a vision quest
for my challenge idea
and then it came to me
are you ready? let's do this!
i'm cooking some stuff, let's go!
so i'm gonna start by sauteeing some onion, and mushroom and garlic
just to get them softened up.
then it's gonna go into a food processor.
so you don't need to cut it up perfectly,
this is just gonna get ground up anyway.
because i'm tryna make sausage, i'm gonna add whole fennel seeds,
as well as thyme,
oregano,
and sage.
and at the very end, i'm gonna add some kale.
so we're adding this to a food processor,
along with some white navy beans,
sea salt and ground pepper,
and i'm gonna add nutritional yeast.
i'm gonna add vital wheat gluten,
which is pure gluten,
in order to give us that chewy sausage like texture,
as well as vegetable stock,
and parsley
i'm gonna add more gluten.
so now you can see, it's like a dough
it's like, the gluten has made it come together like
a dough, which is exactly what we want.
it should be very elastic.
okay so the puff pastry,
i found, was already frozen.
like this.
i've never worked with this before,
so i assume we just open it up and
roll it out onto a floured surface.
so the difference between this dough
and the dough that john's using is that
this has been layered with shortening so
it puffs up, and you can see all those layers there.
so the hard work is done.
i'm just gonna cut these into rectangles,
and then from there,
we're gonna make a roll of the filling
and then roll it, and then cut it into little pieces.
all i'm going to do is
melt some vegan butter,
and brush that over top of these so that
they get golden brown in the oven.
i think i'm also gonna make a dipping sauce,
it's just really easy with
grainy mustard, and maple syrup.
that little filling in there,
is so tasty!
looks like a little sausage.
looks like a little dog snosage
alright, let's get them in the oven and
we'll reveal the final appetizer.
well there it is,
the appetizers for the APPETIZER CHALLENGE
yours look, insane. they look so good.
they look like legit sausage rolls.
so you know how we do, you leave a vote, but this time
please vote using the poll in the card, in the corner of this youtube video.
that's how we're gonna decide who the winner is
so is it my white bean, mushroom sausage rolls?
or my vegan pizza buns?
we have quite a party going on,
this looks like a delicious feast,
both are very appropriate for a party,
true, i would say so
i would say this is a hard one,
but i will tell you that these taste EPIC!
i wanted to say the f word because that's how effing epic they are,
this tastes exactly how you think it'll taste.
even this mustard sauce is the perfect accompany
a bun,
of pizza.
they're pretty good!
not bad, toyota.
the roll's good
make em both, decide which one's the winner,
you can only pick one winner!
and you have one week to decide
exactly
the voting counts until next wednesday,
when we post a brand new hot for food video.
