There’s something universally comforting about a soft pretzel—the warm, pillowy interior, the slightly chewy crust, and that perfect sprinkle of coarse salt on top. It’s the kind of snack that feels both nostalgic and indulgent, whether you’re enjoying it fresh from the oven or as a quick treat on the go. Traditionally, though, soft pretzels are rooted in classic wheat-based doughs, making them completely off-limits for anyone following a grain-free, gluten-free, or AIP lifestyle. Until now.
With eat G.A.N.G.S.T.E.R.’s pizza crust and flatbread mix, soft pretzels are officially back on the menu. This versatile, top-14-free mix transforms into a surprisingly authentic pretzel experience—soft, chewy, andincredibly satisfying—without any of the grains or gluten.
The process couldn’t be easier. Prepare the mix according to the package instructions, but instead of pressing the dough into a crust or flatbread, transfer it into a piping bag. From there, pipe classic pretzel shapes directly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Once shaped, sprinkle generously with that signature coarse pretzel salt to get that iconic flavor and texture.
Bake for 12 to 16 minutes, depending on the size of your pretzels, until they’re golden and set. The result? Beautifully soft pretzels with a tender interior and just the right amount of chew.
Want something a little crunchier? You can easily turn these into mini hard pretzels. Simply pipe smaller shapes and bake a bit longer untilthey reach your desired crispiness.
It’s a simple twist that brings back a beloved classic—now completely reimagined for those with dietary restrictions, without sacrificing taste or texture.
