How to make the fluffiest vegan pretzel bites:
Start by making the pretzel dough in a bowl by mixing together flour, salt, sugar and instant yeast. Once that is combined mix in your warm water with a spatula, until the dough becomes shaggy. Pop the dough onto a clean surface and knead for about 5-10 minutes until the dough comes together and is completely smooth.
Proof the dough in a greased bowl until it has doubled in size. Roll and cut the dough into bite sized pieces and pop them into a baking soda bath (which is just warm water and baking soda).
Place your dough onto a baking tray, top with coarse salt and bake! When they come out of the oven brush generously with vegan butter immediately. Dunk these puppies in a vegan cheese sauce and enjoy!
Some tips from Steph:
- These pretzels are best served warm out of them oven.
- Make sure to brush with vegan butter or oil right when they come out of the oven.
- Serve with my healthy vegan cheese sauce, your mind will be blown!
- This recipe makes about 35 bites, but they are VERY easy to eat. One batch is usually good for 4 people. If you have more I highly recommend making a double batch!
- You can use the dough to make Vegan Cinnamon Bites instead!
- Make it gluten free by using your favourite gluten free flour blend.
