Soft Pretzels are a unique idea for a lunch when served along with some spicy ground mustard or cinnamon sugar! They can be made using my Basic French Bread dough recipe. Like the Bunny Rolls, all children will love helping to make pretzels! These would be a great project on a rainy day.
After dough has risen for about an hour or doubled in size, divide the dough into even portions. (I usually divide the dough in half and make 1 loaf of bread and 6 soft pretzels) Roll dough into long thin ropes at least 24 inches long. Twist the ends of the rope together and pinch them down to form a pretzel shape.
In a large pot, Bring to a boil:
4 cups of water
1/4 cup baking soda
- Place the pretzels into the boiling water for 15 seconds turning them over with a slotted spoon. Remove pretzels from water and place on a Greased cookie sheet.
- Sprinkle with kosher salt (optional). Position oven rack in the middle or a little higher in the oven to prevent the bottoms from burning.
- Bake on 400* 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
***Remember to grease the cookie sheet since the pretzels are wet when placed onto the sheet they like to stick a little. If you have parchment paper, that would work great!***
