Also – I’m getting ready to start trying coconut milk yogurt recipes. I have been reading about the Greek rusks on your site and bought rusks from a Greek company in Australia.

Hi Angela, The flour you used should be fine. Thanks, Katherine. In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and toss to coat. Seriously. It’s a great mixture, and—thanks to the tofu brine, the sweetness of really fresh tomatoes, and a simple Greek vinaigrette—it’s also packed with flavor.
