BREADSTiCKS/PRETZELS


i love these breadsticks! i make them into pretzels by brushing mixed egg whites and milk onto the pretzels, cooking as the recipe says, then turn the oven up to 400 degrees F and bake for an extra few minutes. they will come out delicious. i also make them into hamburger buns-- gluten free, of course.




Ingredients:


  • 3/4 tsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup shortening or butter (i use butter flavored shortening)
  • 3 Tbs. honey
  • 2 eggs (preferably at room temperature)
  • 1 Tbs. rapid rise yeast
  • 1 cup vanilla yogurt
  • 2 cups Jules Gluten Free All Purpose Flour (http://julesglutenfree.com)
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 2tsp. baking powder
  • pinch of salt


Directions:


Preheat oven to 350.


Combine all dry ingredients and shortening, mixing with a paddle attachment on an electric mixer until a fine meal is achieved. Add in all the wet ingredients and mix just until fully combined.


Dust a clean counter or baking mat with Jules Gluten Free All Purpose Flour. Dust your hands with more of this flour as well. Grab a chunk of the wet dough, rolling it gently in the flour into the shape you desire.


Lay the sticks, pretzels, or other shaped dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with remaining toppings and bake for 10-12 minutes until the tops are lightly browned and the dough has risen. Open the oven door and allow the breadsticks to cool slowly [i don't always do this, but they come out fine every time]; serve warm.
