Vegan weekend adventures in Ottawa fall 2023

Image
The fall season in Ottawa is a few weeks so you have to enjoy it. This summer was mostly rainy but it was heat wave weather at the end September straight to the colder windy days of October. If you are new to my blog I have lived most of my life in Vancouver and moved to Ottawa last year. I moved to Ottawa with my mom and last fall was dealing with her pancreatic cancer so I didn’t have time to enjoy Ottawa fall things. My mom passed away last October and this year I didn’t have many commitments which left me time to explore the Ottawa beauty and vegan food.  There really isn’t enough time to explore everything and work there is always something going on. I have also gone from not having much of a social life to having to vegan friends in the last couple of months. The beauty of Ottawa is it really is a big city small town at least in the vegan market community. Hotpotatoco one of the vendors at the market introduced me to one of my vegan friends that will be known as the other vegan g

Experimenting with 2 ingredient bagel air fryer recipes

I have used my instant vortex plus airfryer oven almost daily since I bought it in October. I am in airfryer oven Facebook group and people keep posting the 2 ingredient bagel recipe. The original recipe is self rising flour and Greek yogurt. The time I decided I wanted to try this was a couple months ago when the pandemic was starting and I couldn’t find any flour. I finally found organic all purpose wheat and pastry flour. I couldn’t find baking powder or self-rising flour and I had Dahi which is an Indian style yogurt not Greek. I also have organic baking soda and I like to experiment.


I set the oven to airfry which is 400 degrees and the timer for 10 minutes. While it was preheating I poured some flour into a bowl and added the yogurt mixed together and shaped some of the dough into a bagel. The big bagel in the picture is just the two ingredients. That one will be a future doughnut recipe. 

Then I added some baking soda to the mixture and shaped into a bagel. The small one on the left is the three ingredients. This tasted most like a bagel. 

Them I added some olive oil to the remaining mixture. The bagel on the right is all 4 ingredients that will be a future pizza bun recipe. 

I really liked the recipe with yogurt, baking soda, and flour. Then I made different variations of this for breakfast 5 days in a row. I can have fresh, tasty bread in 10 minutes everyday it is amazing.


Hmm I wonder what will happen if I add an egg. It wasn’t good. 



What if I add an egg and forget the baking soda for the first one. No still not good. 




Back to the original recipe what if I add cheese. It was delicious deli quality. 



Now I have a deli quality bagel recipe maybe I should try making a bun for my breakfast sandwich with a Gardein veggie patty. Same recipe but added some flavoured olive oil. 



Hmmm that tasted much better than the first time. 

I found the last bag of organic baking powder in a store yesterday. Now I can finally try the original recipe but oh no I don’t have much yogurt left. Let me try adding some olive oil and maple syrup will I get donuts?




This wasn't a doughnut recipe but that was one of the best textured scones I have had. Crunchy on the outside and not dry on the inside. 

This blog is to be continued as I continue to get ingredients I will keep experimenting the results are delicious.
