GRANDMA EVA'S ONION BOARD (PLETZEL)



Grandma Eva's Onion Board (Pletzel) image

An old Eastern European recipe that can sometimes be found in NY bakeries. This is my grandmother's recipe where my sister painstakingly forced my grandmother to place her handfuls of flour into measuring cups for proper measurements. The recipe is exactly as she made it and far better then any I've had from a bakery shelf. Note: Preparation time doesn't include 1 hour and 15 minutes for rising this yeast dough.

  • Cook the pletzel over medium heat: This will help it cook evenly without burning.
  • Flip the pletzel carefully: Use a spatula to gently flip the pletzel so that it doesn't break.
  • Serve the pletzel immediately: It's best enjoyed hot and crispy.
