Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Warm water
- 0.5 cup Low fat creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking soda
- 1 tablespoon Coarse sea salt
- 0 as needed Olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well.
Step 2
Add warm water to the flour mixture. Stir to form a soft dough. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 3
Place the kneaded dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm area for about 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 5
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 24 equal pieces.
Step 6
Flatten each piece of dough into a small disc and spoon about half a teaspoon of low fat creamy peanut butter into the center of each disc.
Step 7
Fold the edges of the dough over the peanut butter and pinch to seal, forming a ball. Ensure the peanut butter is fully enclosed.
Step 8
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the baking soda to the boiling water.
Step 9
Drop 4-5 stuffed dough balls into the boiling water and let them boil for 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining stuffed dough balls.
Step 10
Spray the tops of the boiled pretzel balls with olive oil spray and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
Step 11
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 12
Allow the pretzels to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as a nutritious snack!
