I try to provide healthy snacks for the kids when they come home from school, but we're just bored. So last week I decided to try something new. I love the website Super Healthy Kids, so that is the first place I looked.
I found these:
So the littles and I went to work to make a new snack.
Everyone thought they were good! Even the big boys!
A few tips from my kids though (notes to self):
Don't use spelt flour (I'll try organic white wheat next time)
Have kosher salt on top (we just had regular sea salt)
I've got a new snack to add to my list!
Soft Pretzel Bites {Allergy Free}
Instructions
- 1 cup lukewarm water
- 1 tablespoon quick acting yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 3 1/2 cups flour (gluten free if applicable)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
- 1/4 cup oil
- 10 cups water
- 1 1/2 tablespoons baking soda
- Course salt, for sprinkling on top
- In a small bowl, add the water, sugar, yeast. Let sit for a few minutes until it starts to bubble. Meanwhile, in a mixer add the flour, salt, and baking powder and mix until blended. And oil and yeast mixture. Mix until ball of dough forms, then mix for 1 more minute to knead the dough.
- Brush top of dough lightly with oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Bring the 10 cups of water and the baking soda to a rolling boil in an wide 8-quart saucepan or roasting pan.
- Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a slightly oiled work surface and divide into 4-5 pieces. Roll out each piece of dough into a rope. Slice each rope into 1 1/2-inch pieces.
- Using a slotted spoon lower a handful of the pretzel pieces into the boiling water and boil them for 30 seconds, flipping them around in the water with the spoon a couple of times. Remove the pretzel pieces from the water using the spoon, drain as best you can, and place them on the baking sheets.
- Brush the top of each pretzel with oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Bake until dark golden brown in color, approximately 10 - 12 minutes. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
