Ingredients 2 1/4 cups Biscuit & Baking Mix 3 tablespoons plant-based butter or coconut oil 1 tablespoon white sugar (or agave, date, coconut) 2/3 cup water 1/4 cup baking soda dissolved in 6 cups water Preparation Step 1 Preheat oven to 425 °F.

Step 3 Add Biscuit & Baking Mix to a medium bowl. Slowly incorporate the wet ingredients into the Mix until a soft dough is formed. Step 4 Place dough on floured surface and knead for a few minutes until dough is smooth and elastic and set aside. Step 5 Prepare the Baking Soda Bath: In a large pot, bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Slowly add 1/4 cup baking soda to the boiling water (be cautious, it will fizz up). Reduce heat to simmer. Step 6 Divide the dough into 6 balls about the size of a lemon (a little bigger than a golf ball). Step 7 Shape the pretzels: Roll each dough ball into a rope long enough to shape into a large "U." Take each dough log and form it into a “U” shape . Cross the ends of the “U” over each other once, then again to create a twist. Fold the twisted ends down toward the curve of the “U” and press gently to form the traditional pretzel shape Step 8 Carefully place pretzel (one at a time) into the simmering water bath and leave in for 30 - 45 seconds. Step 9 With a slotted spoon, remove pretzel from the bath, let drip dry for a moment, then place on parchment lined baking sheet. *Repeat steps 8 and 9 for remaining pretzels. Step 10 Optional: Add toppings of choice such as sea salt or cinnamon and sugar. Step 11 Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minute s or until tops are golden brown. Previous Next
