I don’t know about you but Super Bowl Sunday is my favorite Sunday and I am the biggest fan of all the yummy snacks that accompany it! So you know I couldn’t leave my gluten free people hanging without these amazing pretzel bites – you’ll be the star of your super bowl party with these delectable bites and no one will know the difference!
Prep Time: 1.5 Hours Cook Time: 25 Minutes Total Time: 2 Hours
Ingredients:
3 ½ cups GF Flour of choice (I used Bob’s Red Mill All-Purpose Flour)
3 tbsp Brown Sugar
1 packet of Instant Yeast
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Xanthan Gum
½ tsp Baking Powder
1 ¼ cup of Water
1 Egg
2 tbsp Butter
For the water bath:
3 quarts of water
¼ cup Baking Soda
2 tbsp White Sugar
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine flour, brown sugar, instant yeast, salt, xanthan gum, and baking powder. Then add in the water, egg and butter and combine,
Let the dough mix for 4-5 minutes or until it starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
Transfer to a greased bowl, cover and let the dough rise until it has doubled, or about an hour.
Preheat your oven to 425F and bring a pot of water to boil. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Flour your surface and roll out your dough and use a pizza cutter to slice it into strips, and then slice the strips into bite sized pieces.
Once your water has come to a boil, add your baking soda and sugar.
Once the foam has settled, add your bites in batches to the water bath. The bites will immediately sink but will float to the top after a few seconds.
Transfer the pretzel bites to your baking sheet and lightly dust with sea salt or any coarse salt of your choosing.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, let them cool, and enjoy!
