Product Information

Pri tip– I like to do all the ropes to about 10 to 15 cm then go and roll them again. Letting them rest in between helps the gluten relax and the dough won’t resist. To shape the pretzel, roll each piece of dough into a long rope with pointed ends about 25 to 27 inches long (see video). Pro tip– You can add all these to the flour mixture directly, but I like to ensure everything is well combined first. Pro tip– This is just a guide, you may choose to make smaller or bigger pretzels. Divide the dough into fewer or more portions.

Pro tip– The excess moisture on the baking tray will create steam. This will bake a crispy crust. If you want a soft crust wipe it dry. Allow to cool before serving. Store in a tightly covered container for up to a month, although I doubt they will last that long.Today I am using sesame seeds but the options for topping are endless. You can make them with nigella seeds, sea salt, try everything bagel seasoning. Of course, my kids’ favorite is cinnamon sugar pretzels. I also make whole wheat pretzels, which are very delicious. Let the pretzels proof for 30 minutes before you poach them in baking soda. These will ensure the inside is wonderfully light. Using a glass measuring cup, combine the vegetable oil, ranch dressing mix, garlic powder, lemon pepper, smoked paprika, and red cayenne pepper. Whisk together until everything is blended.

Then, add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture. Run the mixer on medium-high until all the flour is incorporated. Pour the spice mixture over the pretzels, stirring as you pour so all the spices are blended in the oil. Be sure to scrape out every drop with a rubber spatula. This recipe is simple, easy, and my no-fail recipe. I have been using this recipe for years. So, even if you are attempting this the first time, you are sure to succeed. The earliest written reference to Obwarzanki comes from the ledger of the Royal household in 1394. The entry states The Obwarzanek Krakowski’s official EU Regional Product Status has led to what the Kraków Post dubbed Pretzel Wars. It joins the long list of products that have struggled within the confines of the approved regulations. The approved method specifies that the obwarzaneki must be handmade.Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring between each one to ensure it melts evenly. Be careful not to overheat or burn the chocolate, heat only until just melted and smooth. Browning – too much or not enough. You can tent the pretzels to prevent them from getting too brown. I’m not the most coordinated person out there, but for some reason, I thought it would be a good idea to get into mountain biking. Cover the roasting pan with a lid and place in a preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring after 15 minutes and again at the end. Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Gather your ingredients so that you have everything close at hand on the counter or table.

Pro tip– The longer you poach the more chewy the crust will be on these pretzels. So, I suggest no more than 30 seconds.

Sizes

Sugar –The sugar here is not really to add sweetness but you can add up to 1/2 cup sugar to make sweet pretzels. And if you prefer, you can substitute sugar with one tablespoon of honey. The pretzels must float on the water, not skin. If they sink it means the water is not hot enough. It’s best to wait. First and Second (Rold Gold and Snyder’s) place were really close in points. Both had the same number of 1st place votes. And are the exact same price. Wipe all excess moisture from the baking pan. This moisture can create steam in the oven when baking. The steam causes the crust to become hard. Place the tray in the fridge to chill until the chocolate is completely hard and set - about 10-15 minutes

Next, boil each pretzel in the boiling water for 30 seconds turning once in between. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a baking tray.

The actual time for making these is only about 30 minutes and the in-between time can be from an hour to overnight. You can make the pretzel dough up to 24 hours in advance. You can shape the pretzel with the chilled dough but then prove them until they are room temperature before you poach them. Add yeast mixture to flour, and mix until well combined, cover the bowl and let rise until doubled in size, 1 – 2 hours depending on the temperature of your room
