Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whey protein isolate
- 1 packet instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 cup baking soda
- 4 cups water for baking soda bath
- 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whey protein isolate, instant yeast, salt, and sugar.
Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough starts to come together.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the baking soda carefully to the boiling water, stirring until dissolved, then reduce to a simmer.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a rope about 12 inches long. Tie each rope into a knot.
Using a slotted spoon, dip each pretzel knot into the simmering baking soda water bath for about 30 seconds. Remove and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle each pretzel knot with coarse sea salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your high-protein soft pretzel knots!
