    I worked at Auntie Anne's making pretzels in high school. I even graduated from their pretzel school. LOL It was such a fun job. Now I make pretzels using your recipe for my family. First time flipping a pretzel into shape for many years but I still have the skills! So much fun and delicious!

      Is boiling the pretzels in baking soda water essential in making auntie Anne’s ?? EVERYTIME I do it, my pretzels sinks to the bottom of the pot and it falls apart so the shape is ruined and it’s very lumpy. How can I avoid this ?

      @@aub5020 @aub5020 .. If your pretzels are sinking and losing their shape, maybe you can dunk them one at a time keeping them on top of a spatula or spider (something that is slotted but big enough to hold the pretzel) while you dunk them for 30 seconds or a little less. I've had them sink, but they maintain their shape b'cas I scoop them out fast. I'll bet you'll master it! 🥰 🥨🥨🥨

    Pro Tip for those wanting a consistent measurement when doing things like these pretzels: Stick a length of painters tape along the front edge of your work space (in this case 22”-24” long, or 2 small pieces 22”-24” apart), then you’ll be able to easily eyeball your lengths to match.

    I just plain love soft pretzels.
    This is the perfect recipe.
    I bake bread at least twice a week, white, egg bread, wheat, New York style light rye, bagels and pretzels.
    I do use a high gluten pizza/bread flour and that makes a difference in the final product.
    Flour added to a recipe isn't the same every time. Some times a bit more, maybe a little less. Don't get bread dough too stiff. It's easier to add a bit more flour than a bit more liquid.
    I like that window pane explanation.
    There's nothing like the smell of bread baking.
    If you're not a bread baker, you sure should be.
    I never had anyone turn down a fresh loaf.
    I've been a bread baker for almost 55 years.

    • @bearpawz_
      @bearpawz_ 3 роки тому +1

      @KILEY KITTRIDGE It's a food safe lye (sodium hydroxide) that pretzels makers use to give pretzels a chewy crust, mahogany color and a glossy & shiny gleen to them. I've made pretzels a ton of times, but have never bothered buying the lye. Using baking soda, then an egg wash, works out PERFECT every single time! 😊

    • @seattlegirl28
      @seattlegirl28 3 роки тому +1

      Another method to get closer to a “true” pretzel that doesn’t involve messing with lye is to actually bake your baking soda beforehand, which increases its alkalinity! The information on this process varies a bit, but generally around 250 degrees Fahrenheit (120 C) for at least 1 hour should work! Maybe worth a google :)

    These turned out great! I did end up kneading by hand for a good 20 minutes though... Where do you think I went wrong? The mixer couldn't seem to get to the right consistency with the dough (it was still sticky) even when I added additional flour and mixed it for a solid 10 minutes. When kneading by hand I had to add a lot more flour in total.

    Have you tried adding barley malt syrup to the boiling water? It's used for making bagels (both in the dough and when boiling the bagels before baking), could add a nice flavor component and crust to these pretzels. I'm looking forward to trying this recipe. Cheers!

      I haven't tried the syrup, but I buy the malt powder that King Arthur sells on their website to add to bagels & pretzels. There's just something special about that little added malt flavor that really makes them perfect! I get my pretzel salt from them too. 🥨 Yum, pretzels! I've seen that syrup on someone's video before, but haven't tried it yet.

    Hi John, just want to ask about something. Can I add cinnamon sugar instead of salt crystals after brushing the egg wash? I went to a carnival once and they served their pretzels either with cinnamon sugar or salt crystals and they both taste pretty good.

    I am in Korea right now and have noticed a lot of “earl grey” cakes here. Have never heard of it before and they are delicious. I would love to see your creation to an earl grey dessert so I can bake it myself haha

    The dough roll should be thicker in the middle and quite thin at the ends. This way the "holes" in the pretzel get a bit bigger AND the tiny "arms" bake crunchy whilst the rest becomes fluffy. BTW: Brezn (as we call them here in Bavaria) are best when generously spread with cold butter.

    Hi John, another successful recipe for me following your video and the tips. I need to work on the shape a bit and other than that all turned out very good. Thank you. First time ever I made soft pretzels at home :)
    I used the baking silicone mat that had the measurements and it was v helpful to make the 24 inches long threads.
    One little hiccup was when I had the water boiling in a huge pot when I added the baking soda it boiled over and spilled all over my stove top. I need to remember to handle it safely next time
