Homemade Soft Pretzels

Yard Dart · Apr 28, 2013

Whether you like them salty or straight, crunchy or soft, pretzels are the prefect snack --and, yes, they go especially well with beer.
Ingredients

Dough

3 ½ Cup all-purpose flour

1 Tablespoon yeast

1 1/2 Teaspoon salt

1 Cup warm water

1 Tablespoon vegetable oil

Topping

3 Tablespoon water

2 Teaspoons sugar

2 teaspoon baking soda

Dash of salt

Dash of sugar

2 Tablespoons melted butter

Preparation

Step 1:

In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, salt, water, and vegetable oil. Beat until smooth, then add 1 to 2 tablespoons water if dough is still dry. Cover and let rest in a warm place for half an hour.
Step 2:

Punch dough down before turning onto a lightly greased surface and dividing into six separate pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope.
Step 3:

For the topping, combine water, sugar, and baking soda. Shape each rope into a pretzel and dip into the baking solution. Sprinkle pretzels with coarse salt or sugar.
Step 4:

Place on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Then brush with melted butter.

Going to try these tomorrow. Better than spending 4 FRN at Auntie Anne's. Going to be great during the summer with Bacardi Limon/Lemonade slushies. I'll try it with whole wheat and let you know if it's any good.

@Beano did you try these and if so what did you think?

somewhere I got the idea that pizza crust, pretzels and bagels were all the same dough until you choose how to cook them.

You are right for the most part, though there are some that have little tweak's to change the flavor & consistency- What you do with the dough is the magic, in this case a salty pretzel that will be good as a snakaroo!! Add a nice beer and you have a tailgater special
