BUTTERY PRETZELS

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h20m

Yield 12 pretzels

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon active dry yeast
2 sticks unsalted butter
5 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for kneading
1 tablespoon fine salt
Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing the bowl and baking sheet
3/4 cup baking soda
Pretzel salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Add the yeast to 2 cups warm water (no hotter than 110 degrees F) in a bowl and whisk until dissolved. Slice 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) of the butter into thin slices. Lightly whisk the butter slices and brown sugar into the yeast mixture, then fold in 2 cups of the flour with a rubber spatula until combined. Add the salt and remaining 2 1/2 cups flour and mix until combined; the dough will be sticky.
  • Place the dough on a floured surfaced and knead until smooth but still slightly sticky, 8 to 10 minutes. Place in a bowl that has been sprayed with cooking spray and cover with plastic wrap. Allow the dough to double in size, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Deflate the dough by punching it in the center, then, on a lightly floured surface, divide it into 12 pieces. Roll the pieces until they are about 1/2 inch thick, then form each into a pretzel shape.
  • Whisk the baking soda into 4 cups warm water until dissolved. Dip each pretzel into the mixture, then place on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with pretzel salt and bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt the remaining 1 1/2 sticks butter and transfer to a shallow dish. When the pretzels are done, dip the salt side of each in the butter. Place on a drying rack and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm.

ONION SOUP MIX PRETZELS



Onion Soup Mix Pretzels image

I'm not exactly sure where I got this one from-it may have been a variation on the "Chex Mix" party mix. It's fast, easy to prepare & is a great snack for playing cards (good beer food!). Not for those watching sodium content.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h5m

Yield 6-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup butter, melted (I use unsalted)
1/4 cup onion soup mix (this should be equal to one envelope commercially prepared soup mix)
2 -4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
16 ounces plain pretzel nuggets (low salt version is great if you can find it, I've also used broken sourdough pretzel pieces)

Steps:

  • Spread pretzels out in an even layer in 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Melt butter.
  • Add Worcestershire sauce to taste (we like it dark so I tend to be heavy on it).
  • Add dry soup mix.
  • Stir until well blended.
  • Drizzle over pretzels; toss to coat all pieces.
  • Bake for 45-60 minutes in 250°F; toss every 15 minutes to make sure pieces toast thoroughly. Pretzels should be dark brown but not burnt.

Tips:

  • For a softer pretzel, use bread flour instead of all-purpose flour.
  • If you don't have a stand mixer, you can knead the dough by hand for about 10 minutes.
  • To make sure the pretzels are evenly browned, flip them halfway through baking.
  • For a chewier pretzel, boil them for a shorter amount of time.
  • For a crispier pretzel, boil them for a longer amount of time.
  • Be careful not to over-salt the pretzels.
  • Enjoy your pretzels warm or at room temperature.
