Baked Pretzels (1 1/2-Pound Recipe)
Source of Recipe
Fleischmann's Yeast
List of Ingredients
3/4 cup water (70º to 80ºF)
1 large egg
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons Bread Machine Yeast
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon water
Coarse salt or sesame seedRecipe
Add water, egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, all-purpose flour, sugar, and yeast to bread machine pan in the order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough/manual cycle.
When cycle is complete, remove dough from machine to a lightly floured surface. If necessary, knead in 1 tablespoon flour to make dough easy to handle. Roll into a 14×6" rectangle.
With sharp knife, cut into twelve 14×1/2" strips. Gently pull each strip into a rope about 16 inches long. To shape into pretzels: curve ends of each rope to make a circle; cross ends at top. Twist ends once and lay over bottom of circle. Place on greased baking sheets.
DO NOT LET RISE. Combine lightly beaten egg and 1 tablespoon water; brush on pretzels. Sprinkle with coarse salt or sesame seed. Bake at 350º for 18 to 20 minutes or until done. (For even browning when using 2 sheets, switch positions of sheets halfway through baking.) Remove from sheets; cool on wire rack.
