Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Baking soda
- 1 Egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 tablespoon Coarse salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, psyllium husk powder, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
Pour the warm water and melted butter into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes. The dough may not double in size but should look slightly puffed.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each one into a 20-inch rope. Shape each rope into a pretzel.
In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil and add the baking soda.
Gently lower each pretzel into the boiling water, one at a time, for about 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of water. Brush each pretzel with the egg wash, then sprinkle with coarse salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the pretzels are golden brown.
Allow the pretzels to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free baked soft pretzels warm!
