< Back Soft Pretzels Prep Time: 25 Minutes Cook Time: 30 seconds in baking soda bath/10-12 minutes in oven Level: Adventurous About the Recipe Our vegan large soft pretzels are handcrafted with our signature organic Biscuit & Baking Mix, giving them a perfect golden crust, a tender, chewy inside, and that classic pretzel flavor—without any dairy or eggs. Whether you're craving a savory snack or a cozy treat, these pretzels deliver the warm, nostalgic taste you love with a plant-based twist.

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. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Step 2 In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together oil, water, and white sugar (or agave, date, coconut). 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.

< Back Pot Pie Prep Time: 35 Minutes Cook Time: 45-50 Minutes Level: Adventurous About the Recipe Comfort food at its finest, this vegan, organic pot pie is crafted with our Biscuit & Baking Mix, creating a perfectly flaky crust that pairs beautifully with a hearty vegetable filling. Simple to prepare and made with wholesome ingredients, this pot pie brings warmth and satisfaction to every bite. Ingredients Pie Crust 3 cups Biscuit & Baking Mix 1/2 cup of vegan butter 1 cup + 2 tablespoons (tbsp) of vegan milk Filling 1 medium onion 2 tablespoons olive oil 4 cloves garlic minced 1 bag frozen veg (about 3 cups) 12 oz cubed tofu (½ cubes) 2 cups veggie broth 1 cup milk 4 tablespoons of Biscuit & Baking Mix. Salt and Pepper to taste Pepper to taste Preparation Step 1 Preheat oven to 375 °F Step 2 Prepare the Pie Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the Biscuit & Baking Mix with the vegan butter . Use the back of a fork to mash the butter into the mix until the largest pieces are pea-sized. Add the vegan milk and mix gently until the dough starts to come together into a rough ball. Lightly knead the dough for 1–2 minutes, just until it forms a cohesive ball. * Pro Tip: Avoid over-kneading to keep the crust flaky. Cover the dough and set it aside while you prepare the filling. Step 3 Prepare the Filling: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute. * If you like your tofu a bit crispier you can pan fry it for a few minutes with the garlic and onions. Add the frozen vegetables, vegan milk, and vegetable stock. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Once simmering, stir in the tofu. Return to a simmer and let it cook uncovered for 5 minutes. Sprinkle in 4 tablespoons of Biscuit & Baking Mix and stir well. Let it simmer for a few more minutes until the filling starts to thicken. Cover the skillet, remove it from the heat, and set the filling aside. Step 4 Assemble the Pot Pie: Divide the dough into two portions: *Make one portion about 10% larger than the other (this will be the bottom crust). Roll out the larger dough ball into a 15-inch circle. Carefully place it into a 9-inch pie pan , letting the edges hang over slightly. Roll out the smaller dough ball into an 11-inch circle for the top crust. Pour the prepared filling into the pie pan, spreading it out evenly. Place the smaller dough circle on top. Press the edges of the top and bottom crusts together and crimp them using your fingers or a fork to seal. Use a knife to cut four slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking. Step 5 Bake the Pot Pie: Loosely tent the pie with foil to prevent the crust from browning too quickly. Place in the center of the preheated oven (375 °F). Bake for 45 minutes , removing the foil for the last 10 minutes to allow the crust to become golden brown. Let the pot pie cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to set. Previous Next

Step 2 Prepare the dough: Place the Everyday Baking Mix in a large bowl. In a separate small bowl, combine the water and maple syrup . Gradually incorporate the wet mixture into the bowl with the Instant Mix. Next, move the dough ball to a floured surface and knead it approximately 10 times until it is smooth. Cover it with a clean dish cloth and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. *If the dough seems dry, you may need to add more water until you can form a cohesive ball. Step 3 Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and roll each one into a disc about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick . Transfer the discs onto parchment paper for easier handling. Carefully place them onto the preheated pizza stone, cast iron pan, or baking sheet, and bake for 8–10 minute s, or until you see browning. * For softer flatbreads, roll the dough slightly thicker and reduce the baking time. For crispier flatbreads, roll it thinner and bake a little longer. Step 4 Remove from oven and place on a wire rack and then cover with a dishcloth to keep them chewy without the bottom getting soggy. Repeat for remaining flatbreads. *Optional: After each flatbread is removed from the oven, brush lightly with olive oil and add any toppings (e.g., herbs, garlic, or seeds), or keep them plain for wraps or dipping. Step 5 Serve warm and enjoy! *Store in an airtight container to keep them soft. Previous Next
