Ingredients
1/2 cup Califia Farms Unsweetened Almond Beverage, lukewarm
1 tablespoon cane sugar
1 packet instant rise yeast
4 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
8-9 cups water
1/2 cup baking soda
Vegan butter, melted (for brushing)
Coarse salt, for garnish
Directions
01
Preheat your oven to 375 Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
02
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, add the yeast, sugar, and Califia Farms Unsweetened Almond Beverage, stirring them together and letting the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes or until it slightly foams
03
Add in the flour and salt, and mix everything together
04
Using the dough hook attachment, knead the dough on medium-high speed until it’s smooth, adding more flour if it’s too sticky -- about 4 minutes
05
Grease a large bowl with olive oil and add the kneaded dough
06
Let rise in a warm place for 20-25 minutes or until the dough about doubles in size
07
In a pot, add the water and baking soda together, bringing it to a boil
08
On a floured surface, cut the dough into roughly 12 pieces and add them to the boiling water in batches
09
With each batch, let the pretzel bites boil for about 20-30 seconds
10
Drain and transfer the pretzel bites to the prepared parchment paper
11
Continue until all 12 pretzel bites are complete
12
Brush the tops with melted vegan butter and bake for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown
13
Once done, brush additional melted vegan butter (if desired), sprinkle with coarse salt, and serve immediately
14
Enjoy!
