Ingredients 

  • 2 cups flour
  • cup water warm
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast 7g
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 1 tsp cane sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ cup baking soda
  • 5 cups water

Instructions

  • In a small bowl combine the warm water, sugar and the yeast. Stir to combine and let sit for few minutes until foamy.
  • In another big bowl combine the flour with the salt. Add the coconut oil and the yeast mixture.
  • Combine and knead with your hands for about 5 minutes until a dough is formed.
  • Put back in the bowl and let it sit until it doubles in size for about 30 minutes to an hour, covered with a towel.
  • Preheat oven to 200 C.

  • Bring 5 cups of water to boil and add the soda.
  • Turn the heat to low and put every pretzel in the soda water for at least 30 seconds.
  • Place all the pretzels on a baking sheet and drizzle with sea salt.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
