Soft Pretzels

• FOR THE PRETZEL DOUGH:
• 7 grams Dried Active Yeast
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 240 milliliters Water, Warmed In The Microwave For 30 Seconds
• 420 grams Gluten Free Bread Flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• FOR PREPARING THE BAGELS:
• 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
• 1 Egg, Beaten
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Poppy Seeds

1. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients for the pretzel dough. Mix until well combined.
2. Knead by hand until elastic, about 8 minutes, or with an electric mixer for about 5 minutes. Cover and leave to rise for about 40 minutes. After 40 minutes, knead again for 1 minute.
3. Preheat oven to 210u0b0C (410u0b0F).
4. Divide dough into 12 pieces. Roll each piece out into a rope about 20cm long. Twist each rope into a pretzel shape. Leave to rise for 10 minutes.
5. Bring a large pan of water to the boil and add the baking soda. Place the pretzels in the boiling water, one at a time, for 30 seconds. Remove from the water with a slotted spoon and place on a baking sheet.
6. Brush pretzels with beaten egg. Sprinkle with salt and poppy seeds.
7. Bake for 12-15 minutes in the centre of the oven. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
