Soft Pretzel Recipe Anyone?

Hey everyone,

I am having a MAJOR craving. You know those soft pretzels with the sea salt that you can buy at the grocery store or at concession stands??? I want one (gluten-free of course).

Today, I made a delicious loaf of banana bread, so I satisfied that craving...but I have no clue how to make soft pretzels.

Any thoughts???

-thanks and hugs- J :)

Edit: Just found a couple of recipes...has anyone tried one that turned out a success?

I hear Noah's gluten-free soft pretzels are good.

I just made this recipe below and it's fabulous! I had to change it slighty because the dough was way too dry and crumbly, it wouldn't roll without breaking--so I added 1 Tbsp oil and some water (approx 1/2-3/4 cup water, I'm not sure, I didn't measure). Let them cool 5-10 minutes after baking--the flavor is better than right out of the oven. I sprinkled them with salt. DH rolled one in a little butter (bad, I know), cinnamon, and sugar--tastes so good!

My DD's school is having soft pretzels as a snack tomorrow, and I am so excited that DD will have a soft pretzel, too. This was one of her favorite treats pre-diagnosis. I am just so happy because I never thought I would be able to make soft pretzels for her. Thank you, thank you for the recipe!

Thanks for bringing this thread back up! Soft pretzels were my dd's favorite treat too. We are currently trialling egg, so I can try this recipe!

The pretzels were fabulous last night, but the flavor and texture is not so good today. Microwaving didn't help, but toasting did. These are definitely best right out of the oven, but my DD did eat a whole pretzel at school today anyway. I froze the rest of them tonight, I plan to microwave and then toast them as needed.

When I was trying to make bagels following the recipe on the side of Pamela's Wheat Free Bread Mix, I also made a couple topped with sea salt and they tasted just like hot soft pretzels! So GOOD!! You could probably shape them into the pretzel shape too!

has anyone ever made a dough, or specifically a pretzel dough, without using Xanthan Gum? i see that the bacteria used to produce Xanthan Gum is fed corn so it can multiply and that people with corn allergies can experience problems when using it. My girlfriend is allergic to corn, soy, peanuts, and walnuts, along with wheat (but not gluten apparently).

I ran into this recipe on google after looking for wheat free pretzel recipes so she can share in the fun at our Oktoberfest party. i would appreciate anyone's input. Thanks!

I think that you could replace the xanthan gum with guar gum. It is a bean ground into a fine powder. A lot of people that can't tolerate the xanthan gum use guar gum. It's less expensive, too.

The guar gum was perfect! I now use that along with the brown rice, white rice or whatever flour we use. it even helped our gravy got extra thick! Thanks so much!

I just made these and they were very good. I also added water and oil prior to kneading, otherwise it was too powdery to stay together. They turned out really crunchy (slightly burnt) on the bottom though. Do you know how to avoid that? I just cooked them on a Teflon baking sheet

Thanks

Thank you! I've been CRAVING good soft pretzels like nuts for weeks...brought on by my boyfriend who just had to have that Auntie Anne's pretzel. Now if I can just get my hands on some potato flour...

Can you guys just make me some and mail them to me?

I'm way to lazy to make this receipe on my own, I feel like making pretzels would take forever.

:D

So I made the recipe with this option but rolling the pretzels was so frustrating. adding the oil and water sorta helped but they were still crumbly. and when I added more water they were too sticky.

Any suggestions???? Help would be much appreciated!

      @FayeBr, Yes, blood tests for thiamine are notoriously inaccurate. Thiamine works inside cells.  The blood stream is a transport system, not an accurate measure of the amount of usable thiamine inside cells.  The best way to see if you're in need of thiamine, according to the World Health Organization, is to take thiamine for a while and look for health improvement.   The thyroid is one of the biggest users of thiamine along with the brain and the pancreas.  Thiamine improves the fatigue in hypothyroidism and helps the thyroid function.  Thiamine helps the pancreas produce digestive enzymes and insulin.  Yes, low thiamine can even cause altered thinking, forgetfulness, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, migraines, poor judgement, and brain fog.  Low thiamine causes white spots in the brain in specific areas.   Yes, low thiamine can cause symptoms similar to MS.  Abnormalities in muscle fiber contractions can be very similar in both MS and low thiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble and nontoxic.  There's no toxicity upper limit.  If not needed, the kidneys excrete it easily.   Some Celiac people make tTg 6 antibodies which attack the brain resulting in Ataxia symptoms.    Remember blood tests for Celiac?  Those measure tTg2 antibodies.  TTg 6 antibodies are also found in people with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, although they don't have Celiac disease.   P.S. I struggled along with low thiamine for years.  I have had great health improvement taking Benfotiamine.

      I would say from experience that I am definitely reacting to gluten. I do also react to soy but slightly differently, shorter time period with tell tale signs. I appreciate all of your advice Knitty Kitty. I am low on Vitamin D and I have asked my gp about Thiamine who advised that we don’t do blood tests for that in the UK. I also feel like my thyroxine meds aren’t working correctly now too. Perhaps with the damage? But I will take your advice seriously as you live and learn so much. We all know our own bodies and we all have our own symptoms and experiences.  I am on a waiting list for an Ataxia specialist here in the UK. I must have Been Celiac long before being diagnosed as they diagnosed me with MS in 2004 and neurologist is now saying it has been Ataxia from gluten all along.  It has been a learning curve for me and it is so surprising how little is actually known about this by neurologists and other medical professionals, with some unable to even pronounce it correctly. I have studied hard over the 4 years and written to experts to gain knowledge. Having said that, this site is great to find comfort in fellow Celiacs and to feel like you’re not the only one 😊

      Found out the the HCTZ doesn't have gluten in it.  But for me it made my sodium level drop so low, I ended up in hospital.  So it is gluten free, but didn't help my blood pressure levels. Everyone is different.
