Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Yeast
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Pepperoni slices
• 0.25 cup Baking soda
• 1 tablespoon Coarse salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let the mixture sit for 5 to 7 minutes until it becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is active.

Step 2

Add the gluten-free all-purpose flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture and stir to form a dough.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl, covering it with a damp cloth. Allow it to rise for about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 6

Bring 8 cups of water to a boil in a large pot, and add baking soda.

Step 7

Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope, about 18 inches, then twist into a pretzel shape.

Step 8

Gently place each pretzel into the boiling water for 30 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 9

Brush each pretzel with a little olive oil and sprinkle with coarse salt.

Step 10

Mix the pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni in a small bowl.

Step 11

Spread the pizza topping mixture evenly over each pretzel.

Step 12

Bake the pretzels in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese has melted.

Step 13

Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free pizza pretzels warm!
