Description

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups water, warm to the touch
• 1 Tablespoon coconut sugar
• 2 teaspoons active dry yeast, or 1 package
• 1 1/2 teaspoons pink salt
• 3 Tablespoons coconut oil, melted
• 4 cups organic all purpose flour (may need to use up to 1/4 cup more)
• 5 cups water
• 3 Tablespoons baking soda
• Heaping 1/4 cup coconut sugar
• 2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
• Coarse sea salt
• Jalapeño Nacho Cheeze Dip (for salty pretzels)

Directions

• Start by warming your water. You want it to be warm to the touch, but not hot.
• Pour the warm water into a large bowl and mix in the sugar. Then sprinkle the yeast on top. Cover and let sit for 10 min to activate the yeast.
• Once the yeast is foamy, mix in the salt and coconut oil.
• Now, slowly mix in the flour. Add 2 cups to start, then mix in a cup at a time until all 4 cups are incorporated.
• On a clean lightly floured surface, knead your dough for 3-5 min and shape into a ball.
• Place in a large, oiled bowl. Cover and set in a warm place to rise for 15 minutes.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, set aside, preheat your oven to 450ºF and heat the water for the baking soda bath.
• Once the dough has risen a bit, cut it into 8 triangles, as you would a pizza.
• With your hands, roll each triangle out to 18 inches long ropes. Cut each rope into 8-9 (2 inch) bites.
• Once the water is boiling, add in 3 Tablespoons baking soda.
• Place about 10 bites in the bath. (I used a large soup pot and impatiently gave about 20 bites a bath) Let soak for about 30 seconds. Then remove and place on your parchment lined baking sheets until its full. Be sure not to crowd your baking sheet.
• Bake at 450ºF for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are nice and brown. Keep an eye on them at about the 8 minute mark because they will darken quickly.
• In a bowl mix the cinnamon and sugar. Set aside.
• Lightly brush each bite with just enough coconut oil to allow the sweet coating to stick.
• Brush the top of each bite. Sprinkle the tops with coarse sea salt.
