-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/3 cup warm water -- (110F)
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast -- or 1 pkg
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 1/3 cups MaryJane's Gluten-free Budget Mix -- plus
2 tablespoons MaryJane's Gluten-free Budget Mix
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons xanthan gum -- (available from Bob's Red
Mill or your local co-op)
1 egg
1 tablespoon honey
safflower oil
2/3 cup baking soda
melted butter -- to top pretzels
kosher salt -- or coarse salt or other toppings
1. Ina large bowl, whisk together the warm water, yeast, and sugar
and let stand for 5 minutes. In a separate bowl, whisk together the
Budget Mix, salt, and xanthan gum and set aside.
2. Add half of the dry mixture to the wet ingredients; add the egg
and honey. With an electric hand mixer, beat on low speed for 1
minute. Add in the remaining dry ingredients and blend until
well-mixed. Form dough into a ball with your hands. If the dough is
too dry, add another teaspoon of water.
3. Divide dough into 6 equal portions. Gently roll dough pieces to
about 3/4" thick and shape into pretzel twists, using more Budget Mix
to dust the rolling surface.
4. Place pretzels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush
the pretzels generously with safflower oil. Cover with a damp cloth
and let stand in a warm place for 30 minutes.
5. Preheat the oven to 375F. Put 10 cups of water and 2/3 cup baking
soda in a pot to boil. Stir well to dissolve the soda.
6. Once the soda bath is at a rolling boil, use a slotted spatula to
carefully submerge pretzels, one at a time, into the water for 25
seconds, flipping over after 15 seconds. (Do not boil longer or the
pretzels may fall apart.) Drain on a cooling rack and replace onto
the parchment lined baking sheet.
7. Brush the pretzels with melted butter and sprinkle with salt or
other toppings. Bake for 12 - 15 minutes, until light golden brown.
