Gluten Free Pretzels are never around when you want one! I would watch my family in Germany bite into the soft chewy texture and crave just one bite. Through my frustration, I came back to my kitchen and started playing with recipes to create a gluten free version. It was not as hard as I thought and the smell, oh my goodness!!!! Be warned you may eat the whole tray!
Gluten-free baking can seem intimidating at first, but pretzels are surprisingly forgiving — especially when you follow a recipe that balances the right ingredients with easy steps. You’ll learn how to shape your dough, give it that iconic pretzel twist, and create the essential baking soda bath that helps develop the classic golden crust.
Whether you’re new to gluten free baking or just looking for a delicious homemade treat, making gluten free pretzels at home is easier than you think.
Ready to get started? Let’s dive into the basics and soon you’ll be enjoying warm, freshly baked gluten-free pretzels that everyone will love.
