Ingredients

For Salted Vegan Pretzels

  • salt flakes (or coarse salt)

For Cinnamon Sugar Vegan Pretzels

  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

For Garlic Parmesan Vegan Pretzels

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together 3 ½ cups flour, yeast, and salt. 
  • Then, add in the dairy free milk and maple syrup. 
  • Using a spatula, fold until mostly combined.  Sprinkle a little more flour if needed to not be sticky and form a ball.  
  • Once ball is formed, grease the same bowl mixed in and place the dough ball back into the bowl. 
    *If you are oil free, then just make sure sides of bowl are floured, or use a silicone bowl to easily get it out
  • Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let sit for 60-90 minutes in a warm, draft free place until doubled.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Add parchment paper to a large baking sheet and set aside. 
  • In a large bowl, add very warm water and stir in baking soda.  
  • Cut a 1-inch vertical strip of dough from the ball. Roll into a 16-Inch long rope.
  • To form pretzels, make a U-shape with the rope.
  • Holding the ends of the rope, cross them over each other like an X and press onto the bottom of the U and place on prepared baking sheets.
  • Press ends of pretzel into pretzel dough so it attaches. 
  • Dip the pretzels into the water mixture and then place on the baking sheet. Brush with butter.  Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. 
  • While baking, mix together any topping ingredients in a bowl large enough to dip if adding.
  • Brush with more butter and sprinkle with salt or dip in topping mixture.
  • Give a few minutes to cool before serving.  Best served warm.
