STEP BY STEP ON HOW TO MAKE VEGAN PRETZELS
Ingredients:
FOR THE MASS:
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 packet (or 2 1/4 teaspoons) of dry biological yeast
- 4 cups wheat flour
FOR THE ALKALINE SOLUTION
- 1/2 cup baking soda
- 9 cups of water
Directions:
- In a large bowl, mix the warm water, sugar and salt. Sprinkle the yeast over the mixture and leave to rest for 5-10 minutes until it foams.
- Gradually add the wheat flour to the yeast mixture, stirring continuously, until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 7-10 minutes, or until it is elastic and smooth.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth and leave to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 428º F or 220°C.
- Dissolve the bicarbonate of soda in the water in a large saucepan and bring to the boil.
- Divide the dough into pieces and form thin strands. Shape the pretzels and dip each one in the boiling alkaline solution for 30 seconds.
- Place the pretzels on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool before enjoying.
