Add 600 g all-purpose flour, 15 g salt, and 15 g granulated sugar to the large mixing bowl. Mix the dry ingredients well and make a well in the center.

Pour 300 ml lukewarm water into the well. Add 20 g fresh yeast and 60 g vegan butter.

Stir the wet ingredients into the flour until a rough dough forms. Knead until the dough is smooth and soft.

Cover the dough in the bowl. Let it rest at room temperature for 60 minutes, until noticeably risen.

Divide the risen dough into 10 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a pretzel, stick, or bun.

Pour 2 L water into the large pot and bring it to a light boil. Carefully add 100 g baking soda to the water.

Cook the shaped dough pieces in the baking-soda water for 1 minute per piece. Turn each piece after 30 seconds.

Transfer the boiled dough pieces to the lined baking sheet. Bake at 180°C for 20 minutes until deep golden brown.
