Just in Time for Oktoberfest: Vegan Pretzels

A friend of mine makes the yummiest vegan pretzels, and I am determined to learn how.

Here's a low fat version:

Ingredients:
2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
1 1/2 cups very warm water
4 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
Kosher salt or rock sea salt

Add yeast to warm water and stir until muddy consistency. Add the flour, sugar, and salt. Mix and knead dough. Roll into a sheet and then cut in strips to make "ropes." Shape and place on ungreased cookie sheet Add optional flavorings (butter, salt, garlic, etc., as desired. The large grain salt is for the top!) Bake at 425 degrees F. for about 13 minutes, or until light brown.

Enjoy!
