In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and brown sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Add salt and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Gradually add flour, stirring until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Cover the dough with a towel and let it rest in a warm place for 30-40 minutes, or until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough and divide it into 8-10 pieces. Shape each piece into a bunny, placing on parchment-lined baking sheet.

In a large pot, boil 8 cups of water. Add baking soda to the boiling water and cook each shaped pretzel for 15-20 seconds.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush each pretzel with plant milk and sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
