More and more people are choosing a vegan lifestyle and looking for delicious recipes that don't involve animal products. The good news is: vegan cuisine doesn't have to be boring and offers many delicious options to choose from. Vegan pretzels are a special highlight - baked crisp and golden brown, they are the perfect pastry for any occasion 😉

Vegan pretzels: for gourmets and health-conscious people

Vegan pretzels are not only extremely delicious, but also healthy. They contain no animal fats or cholesterol and can easily be integrated into a balanced, vegan diet. In addition, the production is surprisingly simple and fun , especially if you prepare them together with children or friends. 😊

What you should pay attention to during preparation

When preparing vegan pretzels, you should pay attention to high-quality ingredients. The flour should be organic and ideally whole grain to retain many important nutrients. For the perfect browning of the pretzels, a mixture of baking soda and water should be spread on the dough before baking. This step must not be omitted under any circumstances, because it provides the typical appearance and the unmistakable taste of the pretzel. 🙂

The recipe: Vegan pretzels homemade

You need the following ingredients for 8 vegan pretzels:

• 500 g flour (type 550)
• 1 cube fresh yeast (42g)
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 300 ml lukewarm water
• 3 tablespoons baking soda
• 1 liter water
• Sesame seeds, coarse salt or poppy seeds for sprinkling

And so it goes step by step:

1. Dissolve the yeast together with the sugar in the lukewarm water and let the mixture stand for about 10 minutes until small bubbles form.
2. Now put the flour in a large bowl, add the salt and make a well in the center. Pour the yeast mixture into the well and add the oil.
3. Knead everything into a smooth dough and let it rise, covered, in a warm place for about an hour until it has visibly increased in size.
4. Shape the dough into equal-sized balls and roll each one into a long strand. Shape the strands into pretzels.
5. Boil the water with the baking soda and dip each pretzel briefly in it. Then drain them on a kitchen towel and place them on a baking tray.
   Now is the time to sprinkle the pretzels with your favorite topping. 👍
6. Bake the pretzels at 220 °C (convection oven: 200 °C) for about 15 minutes until they have turned a nice golden brown color. Then they are ready and can be be enjoyed warm or cooled as desired. 😍

Alternative variations

You can modify this vegan pretzel recipe to suit your preferences. Instead of regular salt, you could use coarse sea salt or pink Himalayan salt. Or try sprinkling the pretzels with poppy seeds, sesame seeds, caraway seeds or sunflower seeds. I am sure you will be surprised how versatile vegan pretzels can be! 😉
