Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, maple syrup, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Once the yeast mixture is frothy, pour it into the flour mixture and stir until a dough begins to form.
- 3
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
- 4
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 5
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope (about 24 inches) and twist it into a pretzel shape.
- 6
In a large pot, bring about 10 cups of water to a boil and add the baking soda. Carefully add the pretzels to the boiling water, cooking them for about 30 seconds on each side. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- 7
Brush each pretzel with melted vegan vegan butter and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
- 8
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until they’re golden brown. Let them cool slightly before enjoying!
