Soft Pretzels
List of Ingredients
Dough:
1 1/8 Cups Water
2 Teaspoons Sugar
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
3 Cups All Purpose Flour
1 1/2 Teaspoons Rapid or Quick Yeast
Additional Ingredients: 2 Quarts Water + 2 Tablespoons Baking Soda
Wash: 1 Egg -- beaten with 1 tablespoon water
Topping: Coarse Salt or Seeds
Recipe
Remove dough from the machine upon completion of the dough cycle. Divide it
into 10 equal pieces and roll each one into a long rope, 15-20 inches. If
you have trouble rolling ropes that long, let them rest for about 5-10
minutes and then roll out again. After ropes are formed, shape them into
pretzels, place on a lightly greased baking sheet, cover and let rise for
20-30 minutes. Meanwhile, bring 2 quarts water to a boil in a large,
nonaluminum pan and stir in baking soda. Reduce heat slightly so that water
is just below a boil. With a large slotted spoon, gently place 2 or 3
pretzels at a time into water and cook for about 30 seconds on each side.
Remove from water and return to greased baking sheet. Brush with egg wash,
sprinkle with salt or seeds and bake in a preheated oven for 10-12 minutes
or until golden and crusty.
