Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Baking soda
- 1.25 cups Water
- 1 cup Warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 3 tablespoons Butter, melted
- Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it stand for about 5 minutes until foamy.
Add the melted butter and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir in the gluten-free all-purpose flour gradually until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 5 minutes. The dough should be smooth and pliable.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a rope about 18 inches long. Cut each rope into 1-inch pieces to create the nuggets.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Bring 1.25 cups of water to a boil in a medium pot. Stir in the baking soda slowly, as it will bubble up.
Using a slotted spoon, immerse the nuggets into the boiling water for about 30 seconds. Remove and let excess water drip off before placing them on the baking sheet.
Sprinkle the nuggets generously with coarse sea salt.
Bake the nuggets in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and brush with additional melted butter, if desired. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
