2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 standard packet)
3 tbsp organic cane sugar, divided
4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 ½ tsp fine salt
⅓ cup aquafaba (liquid from a can of chickpeas)
¼ cup neutral oil (such as avocado or sunflower oil)

For the glaze

3 tbsp aquafaba
1 tsp maple syrup
1 tbsp sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the warm water, yeast, and 1 tbsp of the sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Stir briefly and let stand for 5–8 minutes, until the surface is foamy and the mixture smells yeasty.
