Ingredients

How to make it

  • Mix together flour blend, potato flour, yeast, xanthan gum and salt.
  • Using the paddle attachment of your mixer, beat ingredients together on medium speed, adding melted butter and 1¼ cup warm water. Add enough water to make a soft but not wet dough. Beat for 5 minutes. Then cover and let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Uncover and beat an additional 4 minutes. Oil dough lightly. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place it in a warm place for 30 minutes.
  • Divide dough into 12 pieces. Roll each into a 12-inch rope. Make a U-shape with the rope. Holding the ends, cross them over each other and press them onto the rope to form a pretzel. Transfer to a parchment-lined pan. Cover with lightly oiled plastic wrap and let rise for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line 2 half-sheet pans with parchment paper and lightly brush with vegetable oil. Set aside.
  • Bring baking soda and 10 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan. Lower heat to simmer and cover.
  • Place pretzels into boiling water, one at a time, and boil for 30 seconds. Remove from water with a slotted spoon.
  • Return boiled pretzels to the sheet pan. Brush each with egg yolk and water mixture. Sprinkle with salt.
  • Place in preheated oven and bake until dark golden brown, about 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
  • TIP For an authentic look and taste, sprinkle pretzels with coarse sea salt or pretzel salt.
