There are few things I love more than a fresh soft pretzel. As a teen, I loved getting pretzels at the mall with mustard to dip. It has that special, enriched dough, that normal bread doesn't have, not to mention being bathed in oil and sprinkled with chunky coarse salt. It definitely has the gold medal in my heart for #1 comfort food. Luckily, by the time I yearned for soft pretzels as a vegan, someone had already developed a vegan recipe that's a perfect dupe.

Once I had baked the perfect pretzel, I had to share them with everyone I knew (and liked). Because it's not everyday someone bakes you a fresh soft pretzel, let alone a vegan one. I also made the perfect mustard dip. My "perfect dip" recipe is just yellow mustard, sriracha and agave. Simple, but it surely does the trick.
