Combine 1 cup of slightly warm water with 2 tablespoons of cane sugar in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle 2 ¼ teaspoons of active dry yeast on top and let sit for 10 minutes until frothy.

Stir in 3 tablespoons of melted vegan butter and 1 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add 3 cups of organic all-purpose flour, mixing until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 3-5 minutes until firm and elastic.

Lightly oil a mixing bowl, place the dough inside, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Punch down the dough, divide into 8 pieces, roll into ropes, and twist into pretzel shapes.

Boil 5 cups of water, stir in ⅓ cup of baking soda, and dip each pretzel for 10-20 seconds.

Brush pretzels with melted vegan butter, sprinkle with coarse salt, and bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
