Soft Pretzels

Ingredients:*

  • 250g spelt flour (2 cups)

  • 1 ½ tsp salt*

  • ½ cup warm non dairy milk (125ml)

  • 2 ½ tbsp vegetable oil or melted vegan butter

  • 2 tbsp raw sugar

  • 1 ½ tsp dry active yeast

  • 1 cup hot water (250ml)

  • 2 tbsp baking soda

  • melted vegan butter

  • cinnamon sugar, seeds***

*yields 4 pretzels

Notes:

*Like I mentioned in the vid these pretzels are a little less salty than your average German soft pretzel. So feel free to use another ½ tsp - 1 tsp.

**Here's two ways you can freeze the pretzels: Bake them, let them cool off, then freeze them. Freeze them right before you'd add the baking soda solution. So after they have risen for the second time. Freeze them for 1 hour. Take them out, brush with the baking soda mix and then freeze them fully. Apparently that way you gives you get a better, fluffier outcome - haven't tried this method yet soooo don't know for sure

*** if you want the seeds toasted, sprinkle them over the pretzels after you've brushed them with the water baking soda mix
