First time Pretzel make with pron heavy!

BBQ Bacon · Apr 19, 2015

I know this is not BBQ, but I was so darned proud of the way they turned out I had to share. I've always wanted to make pretzels and today seemed like the day to give it a try.

And now for the pron!

Baking soda bath before going onto the baking sheet.

I attempted the classic pretzel shape, but quickly realized my talents lay more in the pretzel stick realm.

Finished product was fantastic. A little sweet, so I'll be cutting back on the sugar the next time.

Brushed with butter and sprinkled with English Flake salt.

Thanks for looking.

The recipe I used can be found here.

Put some cinnamon and sugar on them and my girls would probably move in with you!

Very nice. I love making pretzels. I use the Alton brown recipe and have to dunk them in boiling baking soda.

Awesome. Love making pretzels too. Next time pour beer of choice in a pan an place it in oven while they bake. Adds some additional flavor and produces perfect texture

Looks good to me! Nice work.

Oh wow that looks good.

Jason TQ · Apr 19, 2015

Ha! I went the pretzel stick and nugget route after not being the best traditional pretzel former too :-D. They look great.

I was just looking at a pretzel recipe this morning!

I want to make the chewy kind rather than the hard, crunchy ones.
Were these chewy?
I love a good chewy pretzel!

WOW I would eat the heck out of all those.

Being from the pretzel region capital of the world (south-eastern PA/South Jersey), those look pretty good

Can't quite tell if you made them hard or soft (as it is really just a cook time).

I have always wanted to make some, but could never find a place to sell food grade lye to make a proper bath. The baking soda is close, but not the same as the real thing.

At one time, brew shops carried dry caustic soda as a cleaning solution. You might still find it there. Still not lye IIRC, but way closer than baking soda.
Hope this helps.

Yep, soft and chewy. Best with spicy mustard.
