Directions:Instructions
1. Prepare the yeast mixture by combining the warm water with the yeast and maple syrup. The warmth and sugar provide a place for the yeast to bloom. Set aside for at lest 10 minutes or until the surface looks foamy.
2. Meanwhile, combine the flour, salt, and xanthan gum (if necessary) in a bowl
3. Add the yeast mixture to the flour along with the oil and stir to combine. The mixture will be rather stiff and dry.
4. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5 to 10 minutes. The dough should become more tacky.
5. Place the kneaded dough into an oil bowl, cover with a dry cloth and let rise in a warm dry place for 1 hour. Note the dough is very heavy and will not rise a great deal. Preheat the oven to 450 a few minutes before the hour is up.
6. Place the water and baking soda in a large pot to boil and prepare a pan with either parchment paper or oil
7. Knead the dough a few more times, then pull off tablespoon sized pieces and roll into balls
8. Place the dough balls into the boiling water for about 1 to 1.5 minutes, remove and place on baking sheet
9. Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over top and place in oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until dark golden brown
10. Remove from oven and let cool before devouring! |

Notes: I made these little bites of deliciousness for my step fathers birthday. He had been raving about the ‘everything but the bagel’ seasoning we get from Trader Joes. He also LOVES pretzel bites (and frankly don’t we all?), so these were really the perfect birthday treat. I adapted this recipe from one I found online, which originally produced roughly a billion pretzel bites (more like 48 but whatever). You can find the recipe here, or follow the one that I have adapted. The one I have adapted is gluten free and makes around 12 pretzel bites. The way you can increase the recipe if you are feeding guest, or just make some for yourself as a snack!
I found the recipe to be fairly straight forward, and the longest step was the proofing. The dough is a bit drier and less tacky than gluteny pretzels, but still plumps up the same. They are even a bit more dense, which my family all really liked. That said it does require a bit of adjustment and I HIGHLY recommend using a gluten free flour blend with xanthan gum or adding some in yourself. The xanthan gum is important in high gluten breads as it helps to build the tacky texture. I like the brand that we get form our local Costco, but am unsure if this is available universally. You can find it here!
I also increased the maple syrup and oil in this recipe as I personally though it would benefit from more sweetness and moisture.
The dough doesn’t exactly rise like a traditional yeasted bread, so don’t worry if you dough ball doesn’t significantly increase in size. It is completely normal! I hope you enjoy this recipe!
