Ingredients

• 2.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Baking soda
• 1.25 cups Water
• 1 cup Warm water (110°F/45°C)
• 3 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 0 Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it stand for about 5 minutes until foamy.

Step 2

Add the melted butter and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir in the gluten-free all-purpose flour gradually until a soft dough forms.

Step 3

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 5 minutes. The dough should be smooth and pliable.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a rope about 18 inches long. Cut each rope into 1-inch pieces to create the nuggets.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

Bring 1.25 cups of water to a boil in a medium pot. Stir in the baking soda slowly, as it will bubble up.

Step 7

Using a slotted spoon, immerse the nuggets into the boiling water for about 30 seconds. Remove and let excess water drip off before placing them on the baking sheet.

Step 8

Sprinkle the nuggets generously with coarse sea salt.

Step 9

Bake the nuggets in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and brush with additional melted butter, if desired. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
