Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Baking soda
- 1 Egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons Coarse sea salt
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and honey. Stir until the yeast is mostly dissolved. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it starts to foam.
Add the all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and melted unsalted butter to the yeast mixture. Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions.
Roll each dough piece into long ropes, about 12 inches in length. Cut each rope into 1-inch nuggets.
Bring 10 cups of water to a boil in a large stockpot. Once boiling, add the baking soda.
Drop the pretzel nuggets into the boiling water in batches, about 10-15 at a time, boiling each batch for 30 seconds. Use a slotted spoon to remove the nuggets and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
Brush the beaten egg over each pretzel nugget and sprinkle them with coarse sea salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove the pretzels from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the soy-free soft pretzel nuggets warm!
