Pretzels!
Recipes provided by a friend. I tried the regular pretzel recipe on the bottom, and while the kids liked the dough I apparently got too enthusiastic with the kosher salt, so they scraped it off. It wasn't hard to make but it wasn't trivial, so I'm not going to make it too often. I still haven't tried the Honey Wheat but I plan to do so; I have to wonder if brown sugar might be an acceptable substitute.
Honey Wheat Pretzels
¾ cup warm water
1 egg
¼ tsp. salt
3 cups whole wheat flour
2 tsp. honey
kosher salt or sesame seeds
Combine all ingredients (except kosher salt/sesame seeds) in breadmaker and run through dough cycle. Roll into a 14 x 16 inch rectangle. Cut into 12 14 x ½ inch strips. Gentle pull each strip to make a rope 16 inches long. Twist into pretzel shapes. Place on greased cookie sheet. Brush with beaten egg. Sprinkle with kosher salt or sesame seeds. Bake 18-20 minutes.
Soft Pretzels
½ cup + 2 Tbsp. water
¾ tsp. salt
2 tsp. yeast
¼ cup sugar
2 ½ cups flour
1 ¼ tsp. oil
¼ cup baking soda
2 cups hot water
Combine water, salt, yeast, sugar, flour and oil in breadmaker. Run through dough cycle. Let rise 30 minutes to an hour. Preheat oven to 450. Mix baking soda in hot water. Divide dough into 6 portions and roll out into ropes. Twist ropes into pretzel shapes. Dip pretzel into baking soda bath and then put on greased baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt. Let rise another 15 – 30 minutes. Bake 8 minutes.
