In a rush from work and forgot the yeast? No problem, we can still make the recipe without it. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp sugar
• 4-5 tbsp of grated fat (you can use butter or lard instead)
• 1 egg
• 1/3-1/2 cup of lukewarm water
• egg for brushing
• sprinkles to taste

Instructions:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
• Add the grated fat (or butter/lard) until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Beat the egg in a separate bowl and add it to the mixture. Mix until the egg is fully incorporated.
• Gradually add the lukewarm water, mixing until the dough comes together. Be careful not to add too much water – you want the dough to be soft and non-sticky.
• Work with the dough immediately. Roll it out and cut pretzels out of it. The dough should be 4-5 mm thick.
• Place the cut pretzels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• In a separate bowl, beat an egg and brush it over all the pretzels.
• Choose the sprinkles you like best, such as seeds, salt, or poppy seeds, and sprinkle them over the pretzels.
• Preheat your oven to 350-370°F. Once it’s heated, place the pretzels in the oven and bake for approximately 8-12 minutes or until they’re golden brown.
