DUO PRETZEL BARS
If you can't decide between white or brown chocolate, sweet or salty snacks, these vegan duo pretzel bars are what you're looking for. And that swirling is the most satisfying thing to do!
Recommended Equipment
Ingredients
- 240 g flour
- 90 g coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 240 ml plant milk
- 80 ml plant oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 bar of brown chocolate with rice or oat milk
- 1 bar of white chocolate
- 20 mini pretzels
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/ 350° Fahrenheit.
- Now, gather all your ingredients and prepare them in the right amounts. That makes it so much easier and more fun and you're less likely to forget anything.
- Mix flour, sugar, salt and vanilla well and mix plant milk, oil and apple cider vinegar well, then pour together and combine quickly.
- Spread the dough out in a greased square baking tin, the one I use is 24 x 35 cm/ 9,5 x 13,7 inch.
- Bake for 30 minutes and let cool off, remove from tin.
- Now you're tempering the brown chocolate for a shiny and crisp cake glaze using the seeding method. Don’t worry—it’s not as complicated as it might seem at first glance.Start by finely chopping the chocolate, as this helps it melt evenly and ensures proper heat distribution. Prepare a double boiler by filling a saucepan with a little water and heating it gently so that it simmers but doesn’t boil. Place a melting pot or a heatproof bowl over the saucepan, ensuring the bottom doesn’t touch the water.Melt about 3/4 of the chopped chocolate in the pot, stirring regularly until fully melted. Keep an eye on the temperature, aiming for 40-45°C (104-113°F).Remove the pot from the heat and stir in most of the remaining chocolate, which will lower the temperature and begin the crystallization process. Leave a small portion of the chocolate aside in case adjustments are needed. Aim for a final temperature of 27-29°C (80.6-84.2°F)
- Then melt the white chocolate following the same method. Swirl the brown and the white chocolate on the cake and place the pretzels immediately.
- Cut into pieces, put in the fridge for 10 minutes and serve.
Notes
The little pretzels on the cookies become a bit stale over night. So if you have some cookies left, I recommend replacing the pretzel. Remove it, run a hot spoon over the chocolate and put a new pretzel in that place.
The cake can be baked in advance and stored in an airtight container in the fridge before decorating or even be frozen.
