Ingredients

• 500 grams All-purpose flour
• 7 grams Instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 300 milliliters Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Baking soda
• 500 milliliters Water
• 100 grams Dairy-free butter substitute
• 1 tablespoon Coarse salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces.

Step 7

Roll each piece into a long rope and shape into a pretzel form.

Step 8

In a large saucepan, bring 500 milliliters of water to a boil, then add the baking soda.

Step 9

Carefully immerse each pretzel into the boiling water for 30 seconds, ensuring they are submerged one at a time.

Step 10

Remove the pretzels with a slotted spoon and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 11

Sprinkle each pretzel with coarse salt, then bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Step 12

Let the pretzels cool slightly, then spread a generous layer of dairy-free butter substitute on the top of each one before serving.
