🍳 烹飪流程
Roll the dough balls into 30-inch ropes, letting them rest if they spring back to relax the gluten. → Form a U-shape, cross the ends, twist them twice, and fold back onto the loop to form a classic pretzel shape. → Place on a baking sheet, cover, and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up and set their shape. → Dip the frozen pretzels in either a lye or cooled baking soda solution for about 5 seconds. → Brush with egg wash (if using baking soda), let rise for 1.5 to 2 hours, sprinkle with coarse salt, and bake.

開場介紹
Learn how to professionally shape and dip traditional Bavarian-style soft pretzels with master baker Peter Reinhart. This guide covers rolling dough to the perfect length, shaping the classic pretzel knot, and using a lye or baking soda bath to achieve a deep, glossy brown crust.
步驟 1
Lightly mist the work surface with cooking spray. Take a portioned dough ball, pat it down, roll it up, and roll it back and forth to form a short rope. If the dough springs back due to tight gluten, set it aside to rest and repeat with the remaining dough balls.
步驟 2
Once the dough has relaxed, continue rolling each rope out to a length of exactly 30 inches, applying even pressure from the center outward to keep the thickness uniform.
步驟 3
Form the 30-inch rope into a U-shape. Cross the two ends over each other, give them one extra twist to create a double twist, and then fold the twisted ends back over the loop. Gently press the ends to secure the pretzel shape.
步驟 4
Carefully lift the shaped pretzel by supporting all three sections and transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Adjust and open up the shape if necessary.
步驟 5
Mist the shaped pretzels with cooking spray, cover the baking sheet tightly with plastic wrap, and place in the freezer for at least 2 hours (or up to 3 weeks).
材料清單
重要提醒
Always wear protective gloves when working with food-grade lye, as it is highly alkaline and can irritate the skin.
Freezing the pretzels before dipping is crucial; it helps them hold their shape and makes them much easier to handle during the dipping process.
If you choose the baking soda alternative, using an egg wash is highly recommended to achieve the characteristic dark, glossy finish.
