Homemade Pretzels
|
 |
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1-1/2 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 cup cold water
Coarse salt
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add flour and salt; stir to form a
soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead 4-5 times. Cover and let rise in
a warm place for 15 minutes. Punch dough down and divide into 20 equal pieces.
On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a 15-in. long strip; twist
into a pretzel shape. Combine baking soda and cold water; brush over pretzels.
Sprinkle with coarse salt. Place on greased baking sheets. Bake at 450° for
15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Yield: 20 pretzels.
