Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 packet Instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Warm water
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.33 cup Baking soda
- 1 Egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons Coarse sea salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Add warm water and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Stir until you form a cohesive dough. The dough will be slightly sticky.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 3-5 minutes. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, but be careful not to make it too dry.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rest in a warm place for about 20 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Bring a large saucepan filled with about 4 cups of water to a boil, then slowly stir in the baking soda.
Roll the dough into a long rope, about ¾ inch in diameter, and cut into 1-inch pieces.
Carefully drop the pretzel bites into the boiling baking soda water, a few at a time, and let them boil for about 30 seconds. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush each pretzel bite with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy on their own.
