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.
