Making your own soft pretzels at home is not as difficult as you might think. A simple yeast dough is made and left to rise, then rolled into "Ropes" And formed into twisted pretzel shapes. A quick dunk in a mixture of boiling water and baking soda, just 12 minutes in the oven, and you have soft, warm pretzels that are also dairy free. This recipe is a vegan snacking staple for kids and adults, great for movie nights and after-school snacks, and the perfect appetizer. Feel free to sprinkle your pretzels with spices, sugar, or nutritional yeast for different flavor variations.
