Ingredients
🥛 1 cup 0% Greek yogurt
🌾 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
🥚 1 egg, whisked, or approximately 1-2 tablespoons melted butter, for brushing
🧂 1/2 teaspoon flaky salt, for sprinkling on top
🥑 Avocado Oil Spray
Instructions
1- Mixing the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl with a blue rim, combine 1 cup of Greek yogurt and 1 cup of Ballerina Farm All-Purpose Flour.
- Use a red silicone spatula to mix until a cohesive dough forms.
2- Preparing the Work Surface:
- Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour.
- This will prevent the dough from sticking as you shape your pretzels.
3- Shaping the Pretzels:
- Transfer portions of the dough onto the floured surface.
- Roll each portion into a long rope.
- Form each rope into the classic pretzel shape by making a U-shape, crossing the ends twice, and then folding them down onto the bottom curve of the U.
4- Preparing for Baking:
- Place the formed pretzels onto a dark-colored baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- If using, spray the parchment paper lightly with Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil Spray to prevent sticking.
5- Baking:
- Bake the pretzels in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C).
- Bake until golden brown, approximately 10-15 minutes.
6- Finishing Touches:
- Once baked, remove the pretzels from the oven.
- Immediately brush them with melted butter or an egg wash using a silicone basting brush with a wooden handle.
7- Seasoning:
- Generously sprinkle flaky salt over the pretzels while they are still warm.
