    Easy Soft-Baked Pretzels with Vegan Mustard Dip

    Use ready-made pizza dough to make the quickest, chewiest soft-baked pretzels! The dough is virtually the same— all it takes is a kneading and a quick dip in an alkaline bath to create the distinctive pretzel taste and color.

    Prep Time40 minsCook Time20 minsTotal Time1 hr

    Pretzels
     1 lb pizza dough*
     all-purpose flour, to knead
     1 tablespoon cornmeal
     6 cups water + 3 tablespoon baking soda (for alkaline bath)
     coarse salt
    Sweet and Spicy Mustard Dip
     ½ cup (112g) Vegenaise or other vegan mayo (increase to ¾ cup for a creamier dip)
     ¼ cup yellow mustard
     1 teaspoon lemon juice
     2 tablespoon maple syrup
     1 teaspoon sriracha sauce (optional, for heat)

    1

    Knead the dough in flour until it is soft but no longer sticky. Cover and let rise for 15-20 minutes.

    2

    Divide into six equal portions and shape into pretzels. In the meantime, add water and baking soda to a large pot and bring to a boil.

    3

    Transfer pretzels in batches to the alkaline bath and boil for 30 seconds on each side.

    4

    Remove and place on baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal, and top with coarse salt. Bake at 450F (230C) for 15-20 minutes until surface is crackly and golden brown.

    5

    To make dip, add all ingredients to a small bowl and whisk until combined. Serve with warm pretzels.

    Notes

    • *You can use any vegan prepared pizza dough, or make your own. I used Trader Joes'. 
    • You can make a sweet version by dipping in cinnamon sugar!
