Vegan Pretzel Bread

  • 4 Cups of All purpose white non bleached flour.
  • ⅓ cup melted vegan butter. I use earth balance.
  • 1⅓ cup of warm water.
  • 1 pinch of salt.
  • some coarse salt to decorate.
Yeast proofing:
  • 2¼ tsp of yeast + ½ tsp of sugar + ¼ tsp of warm water.
Alkaline bath:
  • 6 cups of water + 2 Tbsp of baking soda.


  1. Take all your yeast proofing ingredients and mix them together. Set aside until it foams and doubles in size.
  2. Mix your flour and sugar.
  3. Add the proofed yeast and melted butter.
  4. Set your stand mixer to low speed and add your water very slowly.
  5. Once you use all your water is used. Set the speed to high and let it sit for 5-6 minutes.
  6. Take your dough out. It should be very sticky.
  7. Cut into 4-6 pieces and shape it into 4-6 balls.
  8. Oil a baking sheet, place your 4-6 dough balls in there, leaving at least 3-4 inches in between.
  9. Cover with a towel and let rise for 45 minutes or until it doubles in size.
  10. Prepare your alkaline bath by putting the water in a large pot and bringing it to a boil. Add your baking soda.
  11. Preheat your oven to 375F.
  12. Using a very sharp knife, make a couple of cuts in your dough and boil them for 1-2 minutes. Make sure you boil them one at a time
  13. Lightly grease your pan and put your dough balls on the pan, make sure you are leaving about 2 inches between each ball on all sides
  14. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Hi All, Happy Monday! The topic of my discussion today focuses around words. What I mean by that is, depending on the words you use to describe something, someone will automatically get the impression whether it is good, bad, cheap, expensive, old or new just to name a few things. First let's talk about food. Meal kits, meal starters, one skillet meals have a nice ring to them but when you look up the word leftovers there is nothing appealing about. If you look up synonyms for the word leftovers you can find words like scraps, remnants and crumbs so who would want to eat that? Maybe we need to change the way we think of leftovers.

There are many different ice creams out there and cheesecakes that I have tried that I have really enjoyed. One of the first brands I have tried was Haagen Dazs and I have tried three of their non-dairy flavors including chocolate salted fudge truffle, peanut butter chocolate fudge, and mocha chocolate cookie. Also, Breyers has an Oreo flavor that is also wonderful. They also have a peanut butter flavor that I would like to try as well. I had the oreo flavor with some fruit and the original flavor of the Daiya Cheesecake. They also have other flavors of the cheesecake including key lime, strawberry, pumpkin, and chocolate. I also love having some sparkling water, juice, or some kombucha if I am feeling like I want something other than water. This can be a better alternative to sodas if you want something with some fla...
