    • 2 c brown rice flour
    • 1 c white rice flour

  1. Combine all the liquid ingredient in one bowl with the yeast (minus the one beaten egg)
  2. Blend all the dry ingredients in a separate bowl (minus the coarse salt or cinnamon and sugar)
  3. Knead the dough for 5 mins until it is smooth.

  5. Roll the dough into ropes about ¼ inch thick, and twist into pretzel shape.
  6. Place on a well greased pan and brush with the beaten egg.
  7. Sprinkle with coarse salt or cinnamon and sugar
  8. Place the pan in the pre-heated oven
  9. Bake on 425 for 10-15 minutes; or until lightly brown.
