Soft Pretzels

Soft Pretzels

Ingredients:

4 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon salt
1 1/2-2 cups warm water
8 additional cups water
1/2 cup baking soda
Melted butter, for brushing
Flaky salt, for sprinkling
Instructions:
  1. Place flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer with dough hook attachment. Add 1 1/2 cups warm water and mix. Add additional water, if necessary, until a dough ball begins to form. Knead on medium speed for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Transfer to counter to continue kneading by hand and carefully shape into a dough ball. Place in a bowl with enough extra space that dough can double in size. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Bring 8 cups of water to a boil and add baking soda.
  4. Once dough has doubled in size, transfer to counter to shape into pretzels. With a sharp knife, cut dough into roughly 1/3 cup sections, about the size of a tennis ball. Roll each section into a 20 inch rope. Bring the ends of the rope towards each other to form a circle. Twist the ends and then bring them down towards you and press them down onto the bottom of the circle to make a pretzel shape. Repeat with remaining dough.
  5. Drop pretzels into boiling baking soda bath for 20-30 seconds and then remove with a slotted spoon, spider or spatula. This step is optional, but makes for a chewier, more traditional tasting pretzel!
  6. Place pretzels onto prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and serve warm.

Your health and safety are extremely important to us.

We are taking every precaution to ensure a safe and sanitary kitchen and classroom environment. We regularly clean and disinfect our facility throughout the day and class sizes are currently limited to practice proper distancing. All staff is required to wear a face mask. We are doing everything we can to keep our guests and SLICE team safe, and are asking for your help with these additional precautions:

  • Upon arrival, you will sign in and have your temperature taken at the front desk. Any guests with a temperature over 100 degrees will be asked to go home.
  • You will be required to wear a face mask and gloves during the prep and cooking segments of class. You will be allowed to remove your face mask once you are seated at a dining table.
