Not gonna front, cringing a little cuz it feels very "LA" of me to be sharing an avocado toast recipe but... they're a fad for a reason THE.TOAST.IS.TASTEY. As with any of my recipes and especially this one, feel free to add any additional ingredients/ toppings.
In honor of our EPIS launch, we decided to throw it in every part of our recipe. From inside the dough to on top of the cherry tomatoes! It's in the sweet potato seasoning water and even in our Krèm Kajou (cashew cream). We wanted to put this all purpose seasoning to the test in all forms and as always, it did not disappoint.

2 1/4 teaspoons of Active Rise Yeast
1/4 cup of sugar
1/4 cup of oil
3/4 cup of water

Sweet Potato Fries + Cashew Cream:
4 Sweet Potatoes
Safflower or other High Oleic Oil
1 cup of Raw unsalted cashews
1 tablespoon of Rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon of Nutritional Yeast
1 slice Lime
EPIS
Directions:
Bread
Warm up 1/4 cup of water (lukewarm)
Pour water in mixing bowl and add yeast
Add a pinch of sugar to mixing bowl with yeast. Stir then cover mixing bowl for 5 minutes
Add all the dry ingredients
Add water and half the oil
Knead mixture together
Coat bowl with the rest of the oil and let dough sit in it
Cover mixing bowl with kitchen towel for 15 min to let dough rise
Preheat over to 375 degrees
Remove towel off of bowl, add flour to hands and then fold the dough into itself and knead again
Let dough sit in mixing bowl, covered for another 15 min
Sprinkle cornmeal or flour on base of bread pan (to prevent sticking)
Add dough to bread or baking pan and place in oven
Let bake for 25 min
Take loaf out and brush with oil
Place loaf back in for 10 min
Let cool for 15 min before slicing... I never follow this step but it really allows the bread to get ..bread-like.
Avocado Toast
Slice bread up into 1 inch slices
Add sliced avocado and tomatoes on top of bread
Sprinkle EPIS on top of slices
Squeeze lime juice on top
Drizzle with olive oil
Sweet Potato Fries
Slice the sweet potatoes up into desired thinness
Mix 1 tbs of EPIS in lukewarm water with a squeeze of lime
Pour seasoning water mix over sliced sweet potatoes. Make sure that all potatoes are soaking in water and let soak for 20 min
Pan or Deep fry the sweet potatoes until golden brown / your desired crisp amount
Season fries with EPIS while the potatoes are still hot
Cashew Creme
Add 1 cup of water to bowl with cup of cashews
Add rice wine vinegar, nutritional yeast, and lime juice to bowl
Soak Cashews for 20 min (great to do while frying the sweet potatoes)
Blend everything in the bowl until cashews have become a creamy texture. Add more water for a thinner cream and less for a thicker cream.
Serve
It's always nice to start with two slices of avocado toast and a single handful of fries so that you have enough room to go back for seconds ;) ENJOY
