Vegan Soft Pretzels - Vegan recipe hero image

I can still remember the first time I made these pretzels with my family.

We had a blast twisting them into all sorts of shapes, and the smell that filled the house was just magical.

Making these pretzels is not just about the delicious result; it’s about sharing laughs and joy with the people you love.

Don't skip the baking soda bath – it’s what gives them that classic pretzel flavor and beautiful color!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 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. 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. 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. 4

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  5. 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. 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. 7

    Brush each pretzel with melted vegan vegan butter and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

  8. 8

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until they’re golden brown. Let them cool slightly before enjoying!
