Ingredients

• 3 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1.5 cups Warm water
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 4 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 0.5 cup Baking soda
• 1 tablespoon Coarse sea salt

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour and xanthan gum.

Step 2

In a separate large bowl, dissolve the instant yeast and brown sugar in the warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, until it becomes foamy.

Step 3

Add the salt and melted butter to the yeast mixture, stirring to combine.

Step 4

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms. If using a stand mixer, use the dough hook and knead for 5 minutes. If mixing by hand, knead on a floured surface until the dough is smooth.

Step 5

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 10 minutes.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 7

Divide the dough into small, bite-sized pieces and roll each piece into a small ball or cylinder shape.

Step 8

In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water and the baking soda to a boil. Once boiling, drop in the pretzel nibblers, a few at a time, and let them boil for about 20 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and let them drain on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

Sprinkle the boiled pretzel pieces with coarse sea salt.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the nibblers warm or at room temperature.
