Soft Pretzel Recipe Tutorial

Описание: 1 ½ cups warm water
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
6 tablespoons brown sugar, divided
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
5 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
For the Baking Soda Bath
½ cup baking soda
9 cups water
For the Egg Wash
1 egg yolk
1–3 tablespoons pretzel salt
Optional Cinnamon Sugar Topping
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions
Activate the yeast by combining warm water, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and yeast. Cover and let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy. Add remaining brown sugar, salt, and melted butter to the yeast mixture. Gradually stir in flour and knead until smooth and elastic, 7 minutes by hand or 3–4 minutes in a stand mixer. Cover the dough and let rise 1–2 hours until doubled. Punch down dough and divide into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a 20-inch rope, shape into pretzels, place on parchment-lined baking sheets, cover lightly, and rest 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 450°F and bring water to a boil, adding the baking soda. Working in batches, boil each pretzel 30 seconds per side, remove with a slotted spoon, and return to the baking sheet. Brush with egg yolk, sprinkle with pretzel salt, and bake 10–12 minutes until deep golden brown. For pretzel bites, bake 8–10 minutes. Brush warm pretzels with melted butter and serve immediately. #pretzels #bread #softpretzels #cozybaking #breadmaking
