Pretzel is a type of baked bread product made from dough most commonly shaped into a knot.
Pretzels originated in Europe, most likely among monasteries in the Early middle ages. Now a days pertzels are coming in different shapes. Salt is the most common seasoning for pretzels, complementing the soda that gives pretzels their traditional skin and flavor through the Malliard reaction; other seasonings include sugar, chocolate, glazes, seeds and / or nuts.
Preparation time : one hour
Makes : 12
Ingredients :
Warm water : 1 1/2 cup
Active dry yeast : 1 /8 tsp
Brown sugar : 2 Tbsp
Salt : 1 1/8 tsp
All purpose flour : 4 cups
Hot Water : 1 1/2 cup
Baking Soda : 1/4 cup
Butter : 1/4 cup melted (4 to 6 Tbsp)
Coarse Salt : 1Tbsp
Cinnamon sugar : 1 cup (Sugar 1 cup , Cinnamon 1 Tbsp)
Sesame seeds : 2 Tbsp
Jalapenos : 3 slices
Method :
Take a large mixing bowl, add 1 1/2 cups of warm water, add yeast to it.
Stir it to dissolve.
Add sugar, salt and stir again.
Add flour and knead dough until smooth.
Cover and keep it in warm place for at least 1/2 hour for the dough to raise.
Mean while take another bowl add 1 1/2 cups of hot water and add baking soda.
Mix it well and stir it often.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
When the dough is risen, knead it once.
Take a handful of dough and roll a long rope (about 1/2 inch or less thick) and shape.
(The longer and thinner you can make the dough rope, the more like Aunti anne's pretzels they will be.)
Dip pretzel in soda solution.
Place it on a cloth for 10 sec to catch excess water.
Put it on baking sheet.
Allow pretzel to raise again for 5 mins.
I sprinkled sesame seeds on some pretzels, and for some of them i sprinkle salt and for some i sprinkled jalapenos.
Most of them i just left them because i love cinnamon sugar pretzels :)
Bake in oven for 10 minutes or until golden.
Brush with melted butter and enjoy !
( I found they are really good when they are dipped in butter than brushing them with butter)
For parties or get to gathers you can just make pretzel pieces , make a rope cut it into 2 inches long pieces. After making 8 pretzels i made rest of the dough like this and you know these got consumed first because they are bite size pieces and we had them when moving around just like that.
Cinnamon sugar pretzel:
Take two bowls , that are big enough to fit the entire pretzel.
In first bowl melt the butter, in second bowl add cinnamon sugar.
Take a pretzel dip it in butter and then in cinnamon sugar mixture.
Coat both side of the pretzel very well.
Lovely pretzels are ready to serve.
Enjoy your dish :)
