Gluten Free Soft Pretzel Bites

Ingredients
  

For the dough

  • Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Pizza Crust Mix
  • 1 1/2 c warm water
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • i packet yeast included in pizza crust mix package

For Pretzel preparation

  • Extra rice flour for rolling
  • 8 cups water
  • 1/2 c baking soda
  • salt

For the Cheese Sauce

  • Full Flavor Foods Cream Sauce packet
  • 2 cups cool water
  • 1 1/4 cup cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Prepare gluten free pizza dough according to directions.
  • Allow dough to rise for 20-40 minutes. I find it best to help my dough rise in an oven that's been preheated to 200 degrees, then turned off. 
  • After the dough rises, remove it from the warmed oven and let it set on the counter to allow it to come to room temperature. (NOTE- If you need these to be egg free, there is a substitution suggested on the bag.) 
  • Lightly dust a mat with rice flour or other gluten free flour. Take a small portion of dough and roll into long "snakes." (I had limited success in making shaped pretzels with the Bob's Red Mill dough, simply because it was too soft.)  
  • Cut dough "snakes" into one inch chunks. Repeat until all remaining dough is used. (Or use part for a pizza for dinner!) 
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  • Heat 8 cups of water and 1/2 cup baking soda in a large, wide stock pot or dutch oven until boiling. 
  • Once water boils, add 5-6 chunks of pretzel dough in the baking soda water bath. Boil for 30 seconds, then remove to a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Repeat until all remaining dough is boiled. 
  • Bake gluten free pretzel dough bites in 400 degree oven for 12 minutes, turning the cookie sheet 180 degrees half way through baking. 
  • While pretzels are baking, combine Full Flavor Foods cheese sauce mix and 1 cup cool water in a small pot. Whisk to combine, and continue whisking until cheese sauce starts to thicken. It will continue to thicken upon standing, so don't over cook it. 
  • Serve baked gluten free pretzel dough bites with cheese sauce and your favorite beverage of choice. Enjoy!
