Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Warm Water (110F)
  • 2 1/4 tsp Active Dry Yeast
  • 1 tbsp Granulated Sugar
  • 2 3/4 cups Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour
  • 1 tsp Xanthan Gum
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 1 large Egg, beaten

For the Bath

  • 6 cups Water
  • 1/4 cup Baking Soda

For the Topping

  • 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter, melted
  • Coarse Sea Salt

Instructions
 

  • Combine warm water, yeast, and sugar in a bowl. Let sit 5 minutes until foamy. Add gluten free flour, xanthan gum, salt, and melted butter. Mix until a soft dough forms, then knead gently on a floured surface for 2 minutes. Cover and let rise in a warm spot for 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 425F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Divide dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 16-inch rope and twist into a pretzel shape, pressing the ends firmly to seal.
  • Bring 6 cups of water and baking soda to a rolling boil. Carefully lower each pretzel into the boiling water for 30 seconds per side, then transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Brush each pretzel with beaten egg and sprinkle generously with coarse sea salt.
  • Bake for 14 to 16 minutes until deep golden brown. Remove from oven and immediately brush with melted butter. Serve warm with mustard or cheese dip.
