Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.67 cup baking soda
- 10 cups water (for boiling)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 cups dairy-free shredded mozzarella
- 1 cup pepperoni slices (dairy-free)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup pizza sauce
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture is foamy.
Add the flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until the dough comes together.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large pot, bring the 10 cups of water and baking soda to a boil.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal portions.
Roll each portion into a long rope (about 20 inches) and shape them into pretzels.
Carefully dip each pretzel into the boiling baking soda water for about 30 seconds, then place them on the prepared baking sheets.
Brush each pretzel with olive oil. Sprinkle the top with dairy-free mozzarella, pepperoni slices, dried oregano, and garlic powder.
Bake the pretzels in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown.
Serve warm with pizza sauce for dipping.
