How to make vegan homemade soft pretzel bites for your Super Bowl party?

I love pretzel! Not the hard kind from the grocery store and not the flavorless/stale kind from the overpriced concession stand. I like pretzels that are made with love. Hard, but bitable, crust on the outside, warm doughy comfort on the inside. And, do not get me started on dips and flavors. I found a recipe at Two Peas and Their Pod that I will try to veganize, because they look exactly like what I am looking for in a delicious vegan pretzel.

Vegan Soft Pretzel Bites
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups warm water
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 package active dry yeast
6 tablespoons vegan margarine, melted
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
4 1/2 to 5 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 quarts water
3/4 cup baking soda
1 tablespoon vegan margarine, melted
kosher salt for sprinkling

Directions:
Combine water, sugar and yeast in a bowl. Let stand in a ward place for 5 minutes to assure the yeast is bubbly and alive.

Stir in the vegan margarine and kosher salt until dissolved. Add in flour.

Stir the flour until everything is incorporated into a uniform dough. I stand mixer with a dough hook would be great, but if you are like me, you have to do it by hand.

Once combined, remove pretzel dough from the bowl and knead by hand until the dough forms a ball. Place the dough ball into a light greased bowl and cover with a cloth.

Place the bowl of dough in a warm place for about an hour. The dough ball should have doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Farheinhet.

Bring the 3 quarts of water to a boil. Add in baking soda.

Place the enlarged pretzel dough ball onto a flat surface and divide into 8 equal pieces.

Roll each section of dough out to form a long rope, then cut the rope into 1 inch pieces.

Place the 1 inch pieces of pretzel dough into the boiling water about 15 at a time. Allow to boil for about 30 seconds and then promptly remove with a slotted spoon. Sit boiled pretzel bites onto a light greased baking sheet. Be sure that the pieces are not touching.

Brush tops with vegan margarine and sprinkle with salt.

Finally, the moment we have all been waiting for, bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown.

Serve your vegan pretzel bites warm with mustard or whatever you fancy.

  • you are adorable. I just found your channel and I love it after watching like 3 or 4 videos...I subscribed immediately! :)

  • @InTheCornerDunce Thank you so much!

  • YOUR DOG IS So cUTE

  • @BadActingWYIM thank you thank you

  • You stated your case very well. I agree with you 100%, I've never tried any of your recipes. But here's the thing: I LOVE to see the process. You ever sit on the couch and watch someone workout on television? We like to live vicariously. The bloopers, the mistakes, Buster...we wanna see it all! You have an adorable personality & an endearing sense of humor and I think I speak for most when I say, we'd like as much of it as we can possibly get.

  • @FarenMonique thanks for you response. I am going back to the old format and I am going to try to work in some of the other elements

  • i must say that i like your show more when you say what you're doing while you're doing it

  • I made pretzel sticks last week, and I over baked mine as well. Pretzels are very easy to over bake sigh! .................On regards to the new format, where you talk instead of say the ingredients...I think it's somewhat confusing.

see all

  • I didn't really get much from this video because you didn't talk about what you were doing. That's the whole point of the visual aspect of videos...to see what's being done rather than just only having a written recipe to follow. You get much more information when you combine both written and visual aspects of teaching or learning a recipe, or anything for that matter.

  • She's annoying......and obnoxious

  • @Sassymarkrep I dont know the chemical make up of lye, but I think it takes the place of the baking soda bath in this recipe. Lye may not be bad, but I dont know, your probably right to stay away from them. I don't like stor brought pretzels because they are either hard or stale tasting. I love fresh pretzels.

  • I miss pretzels. I stopped eating them after watching Unwrapped (I think) and there was something about the store bought pretzels being cooked in lye, or something really weird. I wonder if it was just the hard pretzels. I probably won't make these because when I make snacks that the family likes, they want them all the time and I hate cooking. I baked kale chips every day for about a week...ugghhhh and haven't made them since.
