hey everyone and welcome back it to my channel today is a super exciting video
because you guys have been requesting these recipes if you haven't subscribed
yet make sure you do because I make tons of delicious healthy easy to make
recipes that you don't want to miss so first off we are making these soft
pretzels this was requested by one of you guys to make a healthy version so
here we go I'm using some cast of a flower which is actually from the yucca
root it helps with digestion it's also good for bone health as well SM tapioca
flour which is great at boosting your energy and balancing your blood sugar a
pinch of Himalayan salt you guys know this is my staple salt it just balances
your pH it's got so many minerals in it for you a little bit of baking powder
which is gonna help the pretzels kind of develop and rise because we want that
really nice bready texture so mix together your dry ingredients and then
go ahead and add in some coconut oil and adds a little bit of fat to this recipe
and a good kind of fat and then an egg I haven't tried this with a flax egg but
if you do and it works let me know and then I'm putting in a teaspoon of apple
cider vinegar this is key to the recipe because it really helps the dog develop
and to get the right kind of flavor and texture in it as well so mix that
together and then once you have a dough shape I separated this in to three
pretzels then you're gonna roll it out on your countertop or a cutting board
either/or and like I said I made three pretzels so you roll it out into one
long kind of skinny snake basically so you roll it with your hand until you get
a skinny snake and then this is the key you fold it and cross it and then bring
it back down and that's how you get the pretzel shape if it cracks a little bit
just press it back together with your hands we are working with paleo flowers
here guys so the struggle was a little real but honestly it's quite easy just
pinch it together if it comes apart and then once those are made all you need to
do is go ahead and boil them so I'm boiling them for one minute in boiling
water now this really helps with the texture both with bagels and with
pretzels while they are out of the boiling water I'm sprinkling them with
some everything bagel spice and then I bake them for another 25 minutes and
there you go you have these soft paleo pretzels they're just like the real
thing and they taste so good next up we're making these pizza rolls or pizza
it's whatever they were called when you were little so I'm starting off with
sweet potato sweet potatoes loaded with vitamin A vitamin C and thiamine which
actually helps you get all the energy from the food that you're eating along
with some tapioca flour you can also use air root starch in a place of tapioca
flour and then I'm adding in some almond flour almond flour is rich in vitamin E
it's got protein fiber healthy fats so this dough is actually quite a simple
recipe you just mix that all together until you get a nice dough and then
you're gonna need two sheets of parchment paper to roll in between this
is what I found the easiest to roll it out and get it like a nice thin even
consistency with the dough so I'm throwing it out between the two sheets
you want it about 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch thick to make your sweet potato like
slices of your dough then peel the parchment paper away and all you have to
do is slice with a knife to make your square shapes so if you want to make a
giant pizza pocket you could definitely make bigger ones I'm making this kind of
like bite-sized ones that you had when you were little but feel free to do
bigger ones if you want and just slice that into even shapes then you're gonna
take each of the squares they come up quite easily just slide it up with a
knife and lay that onto it either a silicone baking sheet more parchment
paper or a greased baking sheet one of the two
I love rails I'm putting a little bit in the center I'm using the tomato-basil
one you guys know this been my favorite sauce for years so super delish and then
once that's done I'm putting on a little bit of dairy free cheese you can use
whatever kind of dairy-free cheese that you like this is just one that I found
at Whole Foods that I like my earthbound I think pound or earth pounds one of the
two um and it's pretty good and then after that all you need to do is put
another one of the squares on top and we're gonna seal the edges with a fork
to kind of make sure that nothing seeps out of the sides so just press the fork
on around all of the edges so that everything stays within our little pizza
pocket pop pick things and then once they're all prepped go ahead and bake
them in the oven for 12 minutes and then you can have them with a side of more
marinara sauce and they're so easy and so delicious and they came out amazing
I'm actually really impressed with how easy they were to make and how tasty
they were and lastly we're making it this
so dip so I'm starting off with one cup of cashews if your cashews are harder
you might want to soak them for an hour if not don't worry about it you just
want to make sure you get a smooth consistency I'm putting in some paprika
some garlic powder some tumeric all these flavors are really gonna make it
super flavorful and also the tumeric helps with kind of like that nacho
cheese color and also a little bit of onion powder and then I'm going to be
rolling out a lemon this really helps to release the juices of a lemon to help
squeeze everything out because you don't want to waste lemon right so just roll
it out and then squeeze it in your hand to catch the seeds and then we all have
to just blend it up with some water you can definitely use almond milk too if
you want a more creamier one but I think water works just really well blend it
till it's smooth and you have this wonderful kind of queso inspired dip
super flavorful perfect with tortilla chips and perfect for like even a girls
night in or having friends over or something like that so I hope you guys
