Ingredients

Pretzel dough

• 1 1/2 cup warm water
• 4 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1/4 cup melted vegan butter (I used Becel)
• 1 tbsp. brown sugar
• 1 tbsp. active dry yeast
• 1 tsp. salt

Baking soda bath

• 8 cups water
• 2/3 cup baking soda

Topping

• 1/3 cup melted vegan butter (I used Becel)
• 1/2 cup grated vegan Parmesan (I used Violife)
• 5 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tbsp. Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp. dried parsley
• 1 tsp. black ground pepper

Instructions

Dough

1. Mix 1/4 cup of the warm water with the yeast. Whisk. Allow it to rest for around 10 minutes or until the mixture becomes frosty.
2. Add in the rest of the water, sugar and butter. Mix in the flour 1 cup at the time. With your stand mixer, mix in medium speed, once the flour has been incorporated, add more flour until you have a smooth dough.
3. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl and allow the dough to rise for 1 hour.
4. Punch the dough down, and divide in 10 equal pieces.

Shape the pretzels

1. Roll each dough piece into a long log (around 40CM). Shape the log into the letter U, cross the arms one on top of the other. Bring the end of the arms to the bottom of the U. Place down slightly.
2. Place the pretzel on a cut up parchment paper. Repeat the process with the rest dough.
3. Allow the pretzels to rise for another 35 minutes.

Baking soda bath

1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
2. Prepare an oiled baking tray.
3. Bring the water to a boil in a large pot. Once the water is boiling add the baking soda.
4. Boil the pretzels in small batches so they do not overcrowd. Boil them for 30 seconds, then flip, boil for 30 seconds more. Immediately place them in the prepared baking tray.

Bake

1. Bake the pretzels for 14-16 minutes. 14 minutes for softer pretzels, 16 minutes for slightly crunchier pretzels.

Topping

1. While the pretzels bake. Mix in all the topping ingredients together, leaving 1/3 cup of the grated vegan Parmesan. As soon as the pretzels are cooked, brush them with the butter mixture.
2. Sprinkle the remaining vegan parmesan on top of the buttery pretzels.
3. Enjoy!
