Macros: 250cal/8P/39C/5F

INGREDIENTS:

-1/2 TBSP maple syrup

-1 package (7g) instant yeast

-2 cups (250g) flour

-2/3 cup (165ml) lukewarm water

-a pinch of salt

Bath:

-at least 4 cups (1 Liter) water

-1/4 cup (35g) baking soda

Optional:

-vegan butter or oil (for brushing)

-flaky sea salt

INSTRUCTIONS:

Stir together the water, maple syrup and the yeast, let it sit for 5 minutes. Then add flour and salt and mix/knead until it's a soft kinda smooth dough (if it's too sticky, simply add a little more flour).

2. Let the dough rise for approximately 30 minutes, then shape it into a log and cut into little bites. Preheat the oven to 185 Celsius/370 Fahrenheit and prepare the bath by bringing the water and the baking soda to a boil in a big pot.

3. Poach the dough bites for about 30 minutes (they'll swim on top when they're ready) and place them on a lined baking tray. Brush them with some oil or butter and sprinkle over a pinch of flaky se salt.

4. Bake for 12-16 minutes until golden brown, enjoy!
