Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Baking soda
- 8 cups Water
- 1 cup Vegan pizza sauce
- 1 cup Vegan mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 cup Vegan pepperoni slices
- 0.25 cup Vegan parmesan cheese
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the sugar in the warm water, then sprinkle the yeast on top. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes or until it becomes frothy.
Add the salt and olive oil into the yeast mixture, then gradually add the flour and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil and add the baking soda to prepare the water bath.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a long rope (about 18 inches) and twist into a pretzel shape.
Gently place each pretzel into the baking soda bath for 20-30 seconds, then remove with a slotted spatula and place on the prepared baking sheets.
Spread a thin layer of vegan pizza sauce over each pretzel.
Sprinkle the vegan mozzarella cheese and vegan pepperoni slices evenly over each pretzel.
Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and a little bit of vegan parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
