Instructions

  1. 1
    Dissolve yeast in warm water with sugar. Knead with flour, salt, and cannabutter into smooth dough. Let rise 45 minutes.
  2. 2
    Divide dough into 8 pieces. Roll into long strands (thicker center, thinner ends). Shape into pretzels.
  3. 3
    Let pretzels dry open in refrigerator for 10 minutes — surface should be lightly dried.
  4. 4
    Bring water to a boil with baking soda. Dip pretzels in for 30 seconds each (lye gives brown crust!).
  5. 5
    Place on parchment paper, sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake at 392°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
  6. 6
    Brush with soft cannabutter while still warm and serve.

Pro Tips

  • Baking soda lye bath is essential for the typical glossy brown crust
  • Eat fresh — pretzels quickly lose their crispiness
  • Variation: sesame or caraway seeds instead of salt
  • Dosage: 1 oz (30g) in dough for 8 pretzels — very light per pretzel
