🍳 烹飪流程
Activate the yeast and create a flour sponge, letting it rest before kneading into a smooth dough. → Let the dough rise until doubled, then divide into 4 pieces and roll them into tapered logs. → Shape into pretzels, let rise for 1 hour, then freeze for 30-40 minutes to firm up. → Dip each pretzel into a hot boiling water and baking soda bath for 10 seconds per side. → Brush with egg wash, sprinkle with coarse salt, score the dough, and bake at 180°C/200°C for 12-15 minutes.

開場介紹
A traditional German-style pretzel recipe that produces large, soft, and chewy pretzels. This recipe uses a safe baking soda water bath instead of traditional food-grade lye to safely achieve the classic deep-brown crust and unique texture at home.
步驟 1
Mix the lukewarm water, yeast, and dark brown soft sugar in a bowl. Whisk well and leave for 10 minutes to activate the yeast until it becomes frothy.
步驟 2
In a separate large bowl, combine the bread flour, salt, and butter pieces. Rub any lumps of butter into the flour using your fingers until well incorporated.
步驟 3
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, pour in the activated yeast mixture, and stir slightly to form a thick paste in the center (sponge). Flick some of the dry flour from the sides over the paste, cover, and let rest for 30 to 40 minutes.
步驟 4
After the sponge has bubbled, mix the remaining flour into it to form a slightly tacky dough. Turn the dough onto a lightly-floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
步驟 5
Place the kneaded dough into a lightly-greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and leave in a warm place to rise until it doubles in size.
材料清單
重要提醒
While commercial bakeries traditionally use a 3% sodium hydroxide (lye) solution, it is highly corrosive and hazardous for home kitchens. Using a boiling water and baking soda bath is a much safer alternative that achieves a similar result.
Freezing the shaped pretzels before dipping is crucial because it firms up the dough, allowing them to hold their shape when submerged in the hot liquid.
Pretzels do not store well and are best enjoyed fresh on the day they are baked. If saving for the next day, reheat them briefly in a warm oven or microwave.
