Vickys Soft Giant Pretzels, Dairy, Egg & Soy-Free

• 375 grams plain flour
• 270 ml warm water
• 3 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp dry active yeast
• 2 liter water in a large pan with 160 grams baking soda added to it

1. Preheat the oven to gas 7 / 220C / 425F and grease a baking tray
2. Mix the flour, sugar and yeast together then slowly add the warm water, still mixing.
3. You may need less water so add the last 30ml as you need to
4. Knead for 5 or 10 minutes until a nice dough has formed.
5. Divide into 8 balls and roll out into long sausages or ropes on a floured surface
6. Tie into a pretzel shape or be creative.
7. Sometimes I do alphabet letters or numbers for my kids
8. Bring the water in the pan to boil and drop in the pretzels one at a time.
9. They can be tricky to get out whole so I do them in the deep fryer basket as it's easier to lift them out
10. Boil for 15 seconds then let drain on kitchen paper
11. Placed on the baking tray 2 at a time and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown
12. Brush lightly with water and sprinkle with salt or a sugar/cinnamon mix
