Soft pretzels

These are just perfect little buddies for your tea or coffee


Ingredients

  • 1 and 1/2 cups warm milk

  • 31/2 cups all purpose or bread flour

  • 21/4 tsp instant yeast

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar or

  • 1 Tbsp melted butter

for topping

  • sea salt

  • 1/2 cup melted butter

  • Mix 1/2 cup white or brown sugar with 3 tbsp cinnamon

For boiling

. 4-5 tbsp baking soda and a huge pot of boiling water😂

Mix milk and yeast (not too hot or you’ll be a yeast killer) let sit 1-3 minutes

Mix all other dough ingredients and add milk mix ,knead by hand or mixer 3-5 minutes adding extra flour and milk if needed till dough not sticky,put in oiled pan ,cover and let rise 1 hour

Divide in 12 equal parts

Put the pot on to boil water

And turn oven to 400F

Line your baking sheet with parchment paper

Roll into long sticks like 18-20 inch or longer

Then twist the ends and flip over the ends and press a little (see video)

Once water boils add baking soda to it

Boil each pretzel 10-15 seconds only and remove with slotted spoon onto your baking sheet

Brush melted butter on tops and sprinkle coarse salt on the ones you want salty

My kids wanted cinnamon ones so I left some plain with just butter

Now bake 12-15 minutes till nice color

Remove and brush little more butter on salted ones

Brush lot of butter on plain ones and pick up one by one and dip top into cinnamon sugar mix

Enjoy them warm or cold

Mine literally lasted <20 minutes
