Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, mix the warm water, maple syrup, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and sea salt.
- 3
Once the yeast mixture is foamy, pour it into the flour mixture. Stir until a dough begins to form.
- 4
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- 5
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- 6
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 7
Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into small pieces (about 1-inch each). Roll each piece into a tiny rope and twist into a pretzel shape, or just shape them into little bites.
- 8
In a large pot, bring 6 cups of water to a boil and add the baking soda. Carefully place a few pretzel bites in the water at a time for about 30 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- 9
Brush the tops of the pretzel bites with melted vegan vegan butter and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
- 10
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Let them cool slightly before serving!
