Hard Pretzels
From jo_jo_ba 15 years ago
- 55 minutes to make
- Serves 36
Crunchy sticks, knots or balls of pretzel dough get a quick boil before being baked to a snacker's delight! Adapted from an Alton Brown recipe to include whole wheat flour.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp sugar shopping list
- 1 tsp salt shopping list
- 1 package instant yeast shopping list
- 4 oz bread flour shopping list
- 18 oz whole wheat flour shopping list
- 14 oz warm water shopping list
- water, for boiling shopping list
- 2 tbsp baking soda shopping list
- 1 egg white + 1 tbsp water (for wash) shopping list
- Coarse pretzel salt shopping list
How to make it
- Combine all the "dry" ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook, stirring well.
- Add warm water, stir to combine, then knead for 6-7 minutes, until elastic.
- Place dough into an oiled bowl and allow to rest for 30 minutes.
- Divide dough into 36 1-oz pieces (use a kitchen scale for dead-on accuracy if you like), and form into sticks, knots or whatever shapes you desire.
- Keep the dough you aren't working with under a damp towel.
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Bring a half-filled pot of water mixed with the baking soda to a boil.
- Carefully add shaped dough 4-5 pieces at a time.
- Cook in simmering until they float, about 30 seconds - 1 minute.
- Remove from water and place on greased or parchment-liked baking sheets.
- Repeat with remaining dough.
- Brush pretzels with beaten egg white mixture and sprinkle with salt.
- Bake 50-60 minutes (for full 1-oz pieces) or 30 minutes (for "bite-size" pretzel balls).
- Cool completely, and store in a covered container.
