Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 2.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.33 cup Baking soda
- 0.5 cup Natural peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water and instant yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and stir until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
In the meantime, prepare the filling by combining natural peanut butter and unsweetened almond milk in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and set aside.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a rope about 10 inches long. Flatten each rope gently and place about 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter filling along the length of each rope, leaving a small border on each side.
Carefully fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal well.
Twist each stuffed rope into a pretzel shape or any desired shape and place on the prepared baking sheet.
In a shallow pan, bring 6 cups of water to a boil and add the baking soda.
Carefully drop each pretzel into the boiling water for about 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and place back on the baking sheet.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush over each pretzel.
Bake the pretzels in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your sugar-free peanut butter stuffed pretzels!
