Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups warm water
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.67 cup baking soda
- 10 cups water
- to taste coarse sea salt
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and granulated sugar. Stir lightly and let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
Add the salt and olive oil to the yeast mixture, then gradually add the all-purpose flour, one cup at a time. Stir with a spoon or use a dough hook on a stand mixer until the dough starts to come together.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Shape it into a ball and place it in a bowl lightly coated with olive oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel.
Allow the dough to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large pot, bring the 10 cups of water and baking soda to a boil.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 12-inch rope using your hands.
Cut each rope into 1-inch pieces to form the nuggets.
Carefully drop the pretzel nuggets into the boiling baking soda water, a few at a time, for about 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and place onto the prepared baking sheets.
Sprinkle the tops of the pretzel nuggets with coarse sea salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes or until the pretzels are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free soft pretzel nuggets warm!
