Get ready to enjoy the ultimate snack-time indulgence with these Vegan Soft Pretzel Bites! Perfectly soft and chewy, these bite-sized treats are made with simple pantry staples like all-purpose flour, active dry yeast, and a touch of sweet maple syrup for flavor. The key to their irresistible texture lies in a quick dip in a baking soda bath before baking, creating that signature golden crust. Brushed with melted vegan butter and sprinkled with coarse sea salt, these pretzel bites are a delicious crowd-pleaser that can be served warm for game days, parties, or any occasion. With just 20 minutes of prep time and an easy baking process, these dairy-free delights are as easy to make as they are to devour!
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and maple syrup. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
Incorporate the all-purpose flour and salt into the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Bring the 5 cups of water and 1/3 cup of baking soda to a boil in a large pot.
Divide the dough into eight equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope and cut into 1-inch pieces to form your pretzel bites.
Gently drop the pretzel bites into the boiling baking soda water, a few at a time. Let them boil for about 30 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush each pretzel bite with melted vegan butter and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until deep golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your vegan soft pretzel bites warm!
