Ingredients

  • 3 cups whole wheat flour
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 8-ounce can of beer
  • 2/3 almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon baking soda
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 cup baking soda
  • 5 cups water
  • melted coconut oil and course sea salt for topping optional

Instructions

  1. Combine baking soda and water in a medium pot and bring to a boil.
  2. Meanwhile, mix beer, milk, sugar, salt, and soda in a large mixing bowl. Add flour a few cups at a time and mix well after each addition. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface.
  3. Now preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 C) and line 2 baking trays with parchment or silicone pads *see note. Your soda water should be boiling by now so remove from heat when it is.
  4. Knead dough for a few minutes to develop the gluten the divide into balls, 10 for mall-size pretzels and 20 for smaller snack-size pretzels. Form the balls into snakes and twist into pretzels. Brush water on the spot where the ends meet the base and press down lightly to stick.
  5. Lay them about an inch apart on baking trays. Now dip each one in the hot soda water and place back on tray.
  6. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes until the pretzels have puffed and outside is golden.
  7. If desired, brush with coconut oil and sprinkle with sea salt

Recipe Notes

I reccomend sil-pads because the parchment may stick. If using parchment it's a good idea to grease it with butter. You can also just grease a baking pan and skip any liner.

Also, be sure to check your brand of beer if vegan. Some types are not vegan due to how they are made.
