Soft Pretzels

Enjoy these pretzels one delicious bite at a time.  Serve with nacho cheese.  These pretzels are a light, puffy bread sprinkled with salt.  It's the perfect salty snack! 



1 Tbsp yeast
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups warm water (110 degrees F)
1 cup bread flour
2-3 cups all-purpose flour

2 cups warm water (110 degrees F)
2 Tbsp baking soda

In your Bosch, dissolve yeast and brown sugar 1 1/2 cups of warm water.  Let sit for 2 minutes.  Add bread flour and salt, stirring the Bosch constantly.  Slowly add in all-purpose flour until dough is forming a nice ball of dough.  Knead the dough with the Bosch for 5 minutes.  Allow it to rest for 5 minutes.  Divide dough into 8 pieces.  Roll the dough into long strips about 1/2 inch thick and 18 inches long. Cut dough into bite-sized pieces.  

Mix 2 Tbsp of baking soda in 2 cups of warm water.  Dip dough pieces in the baking soda water.  Remove the dough pieces and place on a baking sheet covered with a silicone baking mat.  Leave a little space between each piece of dough.  Sprinkle pretzel salt on the dough pieces.  

Let dough rise 20 minutes. 

Bake 450 F for 8 minutes, or until golden brown.  


*You could also skip the salt and brush butter, cinnamon, and sugar on the pretzel bites for a sweet treat.

This is a soft bread that is super tasty with peanut butter and jam or Nutella.   1/3 cup powdered milk *see note 1 1/2 heaping Tbsp of instant yeast 3 tsp salt 1/3 cup sugar 3 Tbsp shortening 3 cups warm water Flour (approx. 7 1/2 cups total) Mix powdered milk, yeast, salt, sugar, and shortening in Bosch mixer. Add warm water. Add about 4 to 5 cups flour and beat until well mixed. Add flour slowly until dough comes away clean from the edge of the mixing bowl. Knead in the Bosch for 5 more minutes.  Let dough rest for 5 minutes.  Then divide into 3 parts.  Roll dough out and then form each into a log, tucking and pinching the dough underneath to make it smooth on top. Place dough into  three greased loaf pans and let rise until the size of a bread loaf. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden brown.  Makes 3 loaves.
