Bretzels<\/a> recipe.<\/p>\nAhh, October. The time for eating pretzels, schnitzels, bratwurst and drinking beer, lots of it. Oh and dressing up all Oktober-festy. Don’t worry, we did. Yes a post is coming soon. But for now, let’s focus on the pretzels shall we?<\/p>\n
Ingredients<\/p>\n
Makes 10 mini pretzels<\/p>\n
500g (17.6 ounces)all-purpose flour
\n15g (\u00bd ounce) instant yeast
\n100g (3 \u00bd ounces) sugar
\n7 tablespoons\u00a0butter, at room temperature
\n1 teaspoon\u00a0salt, plus a dash for the\u00a0egg wash
\n1 cup milk
\nOil, for greasing
\n1 egg<\/p>\n
Mix the flour, instant yeast, sugar, butter, and salt in an electric mixer\u00a0on slow for 5 minutes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Start by adding \u00be cup\u00a0of the milk, gradually adding the remainder until the dough is smooth. If the dough gets too sticky, you can add a little extra flour to compensate.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Increase the\u00a0speed to\u00a0medium and mix for 2 minutes. When the dough is smooth and doesn\u2019t stick to the bowl, it\u2019s ready.<\/p>\n
Lightly oil your work surface to prevent the dough from sticking. Roll the segments into little 85g (3 ounce) balls.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Then, roll all the dough balls into 12-inch\u00a0strips.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To shape the dough strips into pretzel shapes, first form the strips into a “U” shape.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hold the ends of the “U” and gently cross them over each other to the opposite\u00a0bottom side. You may need to press the ends in so that it sticks.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Cover the\u00a0tray with plastic wrap, making sure not to press down on the dough and set aside for 30-40 minutes to allow the dough to rise.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Preheat the oven to 210 degrees celsius (410-420F).<\/p>\n
Once the pretzels have risen, crack the egg into a bowl and whisk, brush pretzels lightly and evenly with the egg wash. Then, crack a generous amount of sea salt over each pretzel.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Place the pretzels in the\u00a0oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Once golden brown, remove from oven and set aside to cool.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Once they’re cool, you are ready to serve them. They go quite nicely with some German Beer :) I served mine in a woven basket with white napkin.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Enjoy! These are a great snack at parties. Love Megs xo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
