    Dairy and Egg Free Vegan Pretzel Recipe

    Published: Mar 17, 2010 / Modified: Nov 2, 2020 by: Dr. Karen Lee / This post may contain affiliate links. As Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. /

    golden brown pretzel with salt

    We are putting wheat back to our diet. But that's it. We are still dairy and egg-free....among other things.

    Emily was d-y-i-n-g to have some baked goodies but most recipes contain dairy or eggs.

    She found this recipe that has no dairy or eggs and was so thrilled to bake these scrumptious pretzels last Saturday ...... before we lost electricity. Again.

    Since some of you were salivating when I posted it on my wall on facebook, here is the recipe Emily was willing to share with ya'll.

    SOFT PRETZEL

    Ingredients:

    1 C of warm water
    1 package of dry active yeast
    1 ½ C of flour
    2 tablespoon of vegetable oil (we used canola oil)
    ½ teaspoon of salt
    1 ¼ C flour
    8 C water
    4 tablespoon baking soda

    Directions:

    1. Dissolve yeast in warm water and let it stand for 10 minutes
    2. Add vegetable oil, salt, and 1 ½ C of flour to a medium sized mixing bowl and stir thoroughly
    3. Add a 1 ¼ C of flour and knead for 5 minutes.
    4. Let the dough stand for an hour in room temperature.
    5. Meditate for 50 minutes.
    6. When stopped meditating......
    7. Divide the dough into 12 equal balls. Let them rest for 15 minutes. Then, roll them into 18" pieces in finger widths and shape them into the classic pretzel shapes. Or cut them into sticks.
    8. Preheat oven to 475〫F
    9. Boil 8 C of water and 4 tablespoon of baking soda in a large pot.
    10. Let the pretzel pieces rise for ½ hour.
    11. Put the pretzels in boiling water for  about 1 minute. Take the pieces out with a slotted spoon onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet (or greased cookie sheet.) Sprinkle with kosher salt if you want salt. Bake in the oven for about 12 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.

    Emily loves honey mustard. Me? I love honey and sprinkled cinnamon.

    Can't wait to make them again now that we have our power back.

      I made these the other night. They were delicious! Thank you for the great recipe. I hope it is alright, but I posted about these on my recipe blog. I put a link here to your recipe. Let me know if you would like me to take it down.

      Regardless, thanks for the great recipe!

        Hi Alex,
        Thanks for sharing and linking it back here. And glad that you liked it enough to post it!

        You have a great vegan recipe site! I'll be sure to visit often!

        P.S. Did you see my vegan wonton and Korean style tofu recipe here? They are awesome too.

        Thanks for stopping by. 🙂

      Thanks because I sent my husband to the store to get some yeast and he brought back a glass jar of it and I didn't think that I would use that whole thing.

      I was just wondering how big of a package of dry active yeast? I have never bought or used this before

        Hi Abby,
        Dry yeast package that I used was a 1/4 oz package. I think most come in that size but I could be wrong.
        Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
