Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 1 package Active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 4.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.3333 cup Baking soda
- 5 cups Water
- 3 tablespoons Vegan butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Coarse sea salt
Instructions
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!
