Ingredients to make Pretzels recipe :
  • 3 3/4-4 1/2 cups bread flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups very warm water
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water
  • coarse salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Preparation and Method to make Pretzels recipe :
  1. In a large bowl, mix 2 cups of flour with the yeast, salt and sugar.
  2. Add 1 1/2 cups warm water and the oil.
  3. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute, scraping the sides frequently. Beat on medium speed for 1 minute. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to form asoft dough.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for about 5 minutes (or until the dough is smooth and springy). Cover and rest for 10 minute.
  5. Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. In a shallow bowl, mix 1 cup water with the baking soda, to make the “pretzel wash”.
  6. Divide the dough into 16 equal parts. Roll each piece into 24 inch long ropes; form into pretzel shapes.
  7. Dip into the “pretzel wash” and place on a greased cookie sheet; let rest for about 5 minutes (or until fluffy or slightly fluffed – depending on how soft you want the pretzel).
  8. Just before baking, brush with the reserved “pretzel wash” and sprinkle with course salt.
