- 1 ½ cups warm water (110°F/45°C)
Hydrates the dough and activates the yeast, creating the soft texture. Staying hydrated is essential for overall health.
2. 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
Helps the dough rise, making the pretzels fluffy and light. Fermented yeast provides small amounts of B vitamins.
3. 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
A natural sweetener that feeds the yeast for rising. Contains trace minerals and avoids refined sugars.
4. 1 teaspoon salt
Enhances flavour and balances sweetness. Sodium is essential in moderation for nerve and muscle function.
5. 1 cup Greek yogurt (unsweetened, full-fat or low-fat)
Greek yogurt creates a rich, creamy filling that feels indulgent yet is packed with protein for a satisfying and nourishing dessert.
6. 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
A drizzle of natural sweetener balances the tanginess of the yogurt for a harmonious flavour.
For the Topping
7. 1 cup fresh fruit (berries, kiwi, mango, or your choice)
The colourful, juicy fruit topping makes this tart a feast for the eyes and the taste buds, offering a refreshing burst of flavour in every bite.
8. 1 tablespoon crushed pistachios or shredded coconut (optional)
These optional toppings add a delightful crunch and elevate the tart’s texture and presentation.
