Ingredients

• 2.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Warm water (about 110°F)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 0.25 cup Baking soda
• 6 cups Water for boiling
• 2 tablespoons Coarse sea salt
• 1 whole Egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Add the warm water and melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for about 3-5 minutes until smooth and pliable.

Step 3

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

Step 4

While the dough is resting, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a rectangle about 4x6 inches.

Step 6

Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of creamy peanut butter along one edge of the rectangle, leaving some space on the sides. Roll the dough over the peanut butter to create a log shape, pinching the ends to seal the peanut butter inside.

Step 7

Bring the ends of each dough log together to form a pretzel shape, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 8

In a large pot, bring 6 cups of water to a boil and add the baking soda. Stir to dissolve.

Step 9

Carefully drop the pretzels into the boiling soda water, one or two at a time, for about 30 seconds each, then remove them with a slotted spoon and place back onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 11

Brush each pretzel with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
