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

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!

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      @Heatherisle, I'm so happy that your daughter had her B12 checked! B12 needs all the B vitamins to work properly. A B Complex should be taken to ensure there are plenty of B vitamins to allow B12 to function properly. It's very rare to have only one or two low vitamins in Celiac Disease. B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted...

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      Hi Daughter finally had her B12 checked and her level was 30, normal range 180-200 so GP has prescribed medication for 4 weeks then further blood test so that probably accounts for how awful she’s been feeling recently. Folate was 2.2 just below the range of 3.0 - 20 so will need folic acid. Think iron levels were borderline but don’t know the numbers. No...

      @Heatherisle, I'm so happy that your daughter had her B12 checked! B12 needs all the B vitamins to work properly.  A B Complex should be taken to ensure there are plenty of B vitamins to allow B12 to function properly.  It's very rare to have only one or two low vitamins in Celiac Disease.  B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted in urine.  Tingling in feet and hands is symptomatic of deficiencies in B vitamins like thiamine, Pyridoxine, and niacin. September 19 2025, "Your daughter needs to be checked for Vitamin B12 deficiency as soon as possible!   The nitrogen compounds in anesthesia can precipitate a B12 deficiency resulting in severe depression.  Please have her checked immediately! The nitrogen compounds in anesthesia (both gas and injected anesthesia) bind irrevocably with the Cobalt in Cobalamine Vitamin B12.  This precipitates a B12 deficiency in people with a low B12 level.  This can happen immediately, within days or weeks or months depending on B12 stores.    I've had medical procedures that required anesthesia and been struck down by deep dark depression and uncontrollable crying immediately, and also within weeks of the exposure.  My doctor put me on antidepressants which only made things worse.  Antidepressants don't correct a vitamin deficiency.   Please have her checked for B12 deficiency as soon as possible!"

      Hi  Daughter finally had her B12 checked and her level was 30, normal range 180-200 so GP has prescribed medication for 4 weeks then further blood test so that probably accounts for how awful she’s been feeling recently. Folate was 2.2 just below the range of 3.0 - 20 so will need folic acid. Think iron levels were borderline but don’t know the numbers. Not sure if it was Ferritin levels they did. History of haemochromatosis in family , my husband has it and other daughter is a carrier. She still has a few more blood tests to be taken including Vit D levels. Has had deficiency in that last year and had 6 month course as had back pain and tingling in feet and hands. Anyway thank you everyone for all your previous replies and help!!!!

      Ijmartes71 I  son't think you are crazy by any psycoligical s=defination but you are obsessive. you may have considerable brain fog  , a problem that affects celiacs and many other people. . With this obsession you have abd being braun dogged you arw not abke to take any advice people are giving you to help you. To take advice you need to reduce your anxieties abd think more clearly. .Stop taking your herbs for at least one week because some of them will have side ellectsif you take them too long. You can add them back if you don't notice any good changes. Be more careful about being strictly gluten free.
