In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Stir lightly and let sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add salt and flour slowly to the yeast mixture, mixing with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.
Transfer dough to a flour-dusted surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Bring 10 cups of water and baking soda to a boil in a large pot.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a clean surface. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions.
Roll each portion into ropes about 18 inches long and cut each rope into 1-inch nuggets.
Carefully drop pretzel nuggets into the boiling water (about 10 at a time) and let boil for 20-30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and place onto prepared baking sheets.
Brush each nugget with melted vegan butter and sprinkle with coarse salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your vegan soft pretzel nuggets!
