Kraut-Stuffed Pretzel Cannoli
[Vegan]

Directions for the Bread Machine:

1. Load your bread machine as directed by the manufacturer. (For mine, I’m supposed to load it with the liquid ingredients first, then dry, followed by the flour and yeast last. I listed the ingredients in the order that I would put them in.)
2. Once it’s loaded, plug it in and set it to the “dough” setting. Sit back and relax!
3. Preheat the oven to 400°. Line a cookie sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper.
4. When the dough is done, remove it from the bread machine and transfer it to a well-floured surface.  Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces.
5. Flatten each ball of dough into a disk.  Cut the disc in a circular pattern with a pizza cutter.  Carefully wrap the ribbon of dough around a greased cannoli form.  Repeat with the other pieces of dough.  Once they are wrapped, cover the forms with a towel and let them rest/rise for 10-20 minutes.*
6. In the mean time, bring the 7 c. of water and baking soda to a boil.
7. Using tongs, gently dip the first cannoli into the boiling water; boil it for 1 minute and flip.  Boil for 1 more minute and remove from the pot, placing it on a clean dish towel to remove excess water.  Repeat with each piece of remaining dough.
8. Move the boiled pretzels back to the prepared cookie sheet.  In a small cup, combine the sugar and 1 T. of water.  Using a brush, gently brush each pretzel with the sugar glaze.  Sprinkle each pretzel with sea salt.
9. Bake the pretzels for 25-30 minutes.
