    Yes yes yes! I've been waiting for more savory baking. Also yes on the ham and cheese sandwich. Like just a minute in the toaster oven to get the cheese super melty. Maybe some chopped green onion if I'm feeling fancy.

    Go on girl with your bad pretzel-baking self! You've got magic hands and fingers like I've never seen before, ever! Like to give me heart failure to see you bam-boom and there we have stuffed pretzels.
    You've helped me to get past my fear of pretzel making, thankyouverymuch. I can do this. But before I bake them, I'm going to buy your "Savory Baking" book in thanks for your help and very clear instructions.
    Anybody else smile the entire way through her video? What a lovely, sweet lady.
    Thank you Erin.

    Erin, love your videos so much. They’re just so soothing and enjoyable to watch. I’ve been a home baking dabbler for years, and I’m constantly reading bread cookbooks and blogs, but I find your videos give me confidence to just get in the kitchen and do it!! I already had a plan to make soft pretzels this weekend for an Oktoberfest party, and now I’m second guessing the recipe I had picked to follow!!!

    I just received Savory Baking as a birthday present and it is a revolutionary book. I LOVE all the extras (sweet tooth spins on savory recipes, compound butters, recipes that use the baked good, spice mixes, etc.) and the in-depth instructions. It also uses weight for ingredients (one bundle of scallions can vary widely!) as well as words of encouragement/pep talks for more difficult recipes (looking at you, pastries). In a world where every influencer has a cookbook and they are not worth the purchase, Savory Baking is a treasure and deserves a spot on your kitchen counter. I cannot say enough good things about the cookbook. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise, Erin!

    I liked the one kind with the mustard, caramelized onions, and fontina. It's a potable onion soup. I haven't made pretzels or bagels in a while and was thinking of doing so with the cooler weather. Thanks Erin!

    I used same amount active dry yeast and just let it activate with the sugar and water called for, then followed the rest the same. I did an experiment with doing half the dough in Lye and the other in soda and egg wash. I am stuffed full of pretzel and still cant decide which one I like better! Oh and for the lye ones I also baked them at a shorter time of about 5min but hotter at 500 for the nuggets, compared to the 10min at 425. The lye ones were more yellow coloured and puffed up but the others had a more chewier texture and a deeper browned taste..I really cant decide but thankyou for the recipe ❤️

    I've been making pretzels for decades, but I learned a bunch from this episode. Your shaping method is a bit different so I want to try that. And I do use lye. There are no small kids in the kitchen with me, and latex gloves are always in my cabinet. It's really not that scary to work with.

    Can you use kosher salt if you don’t have pretzel or flaky salt? Also is it possible to premake the dough and store it in the fridge or freezer to use later and if so, at what point in the dough process can you do so?

    @amarissimus29 2 роки тому

    Anyone who can deal with yeast can handle lye. A good lye solution for pretzels is at least 10x less concentrated than a saturated solution. You'll be fine. It's way, way, way better. Other than that tomfoolery, great video.
