Ingredients

  • 1.5 tablespoons active yeast dry
  • tablespoon agave nectar 
  • 0.5 teaspoon ancho chile powder 
  • cups coconut or shredded
  • large eggs 
  • 2.8 cups flour for dusting all-purpose plus more
  • 0.3 teaspoon ground pepper 
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon 
  • 0.3 teaspoon ground cloves 
  • cup nutella softened
  • teaspoon sea salt 
  • 0.3 cup sugar 
  • 2.5 cups flour whole-wheat

Equipment

  • food processor
  • bowl
  • baking sheet
  • baking paper
  • oven

Directions

  1. Mix 1 1/2 cups warm water (110 degrees F to 115 degrees F), the yeast and agave in a bowl. Set aside 5 minutes.
  2. In a food processor fitted with the dough blade, pulse the whole-wheat flour, 2 cups all-purpose flour and the sea salt.
  3. Add 1 egg and the yeast mixture and pulse in 10-second intervals until the dough comes together, about 3 pulses. Turn out onto a floured board. Knead 10 to 12 times, adding up to 3/4 cup more flour if the dough is too sticky.
  4. Cut the dough into 4 equal portions; cover with a clean towel.
  5. On a floured board, roll out one piece of dough into a 14-by-11-inch rectangle, 1/4 inch thick, with a shorter side facing you.
  6. Spread 1/4 cup Nutella across the middle of the dough. Fold the bottom third of the dough over the Nutella, then sprinkle 1/2 cup coconut over the folded part. Fold the top third of the dough over the coconut. Reroll the dough into a 14-by-11-inch rectangle.
  7. Cut into seven 11-by-2-inch strips.
  8. One at a time, pinch the cut long edges of each strip together and roll into a 12-inch rope with your hands.
  9. Transfer the rope to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Grab the ends and bring them toward each other, forming a U shape, then cross the left end over the right end to make a pretzel shape. Cross the left end over the right again to make a twist in the middle.
  10. Repeat with the remaining 3 pieces of dough dough and the remaining Nutella and coconut, spacing the pretzels 3 inches apart. Set aside for 10 to 15 minutes; preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
  11. Beat the remaining egg in a bowl.
  12. Mix the sugar, chile powder, cinnamon, cloves and cayenne in another bowl.
  13. Brush the pretzels with the egg; sprinkle with the spice mixture.
  14. Bake until browned, 16 to 18 minutes, checking on the pretzels every 5 minutes to avoid overbaking.
