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.

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.

FRENCH ONION PRETZELS

Categories     Bake     Quick & Easy

Yield 1 pound

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 Bag of Snyder's Sourdough Pretzels
1/2 Cup Butter Melted
1 Package of Onion Soup Mix (put through food processor to make very fine)

Steps:

  • Break up pretzels. Pour butter and onion soup mix over pretzels in a bowl. Mix around to coat the pretzels evenly. Put mixture in a 9"x13" baking pan and put in the oven at 350 for 5 minutes, then take out and mix around and put in for another 5 minutes. Be careful not to bake too long or they will burn!

Tips:

  • Use fresh yeast: Fresh yeast is more active than active dry yeast and will result in a lighter, fluffier pretzel.
  • Proof the yeast: Proofing the yeast before adding it to the dough ensures that it is active and will help the pretzels rise properly.
  • Knead the dough thoroughly: Kneading the dough develops the gluten and creates a smooth, elastic dough that will be easy to shape.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough should rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Shape the pretzels: To shape the pretzels, roll the dough into long ropes and then twist them into a pretzel shape. You can also make other shapes, such as knots or buns.
  • Boil the pretzels: Boiling the pretzels before baking them gives them their characteristic chewy texture and helps to develop their flavor.
  • Bake the pretzels: Bake the pretzels in a hot oven until they are golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  • Serve warm: Pretzels are best served warm, right out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Onion pretzels are soft, fluffy, and have a slightly sweet and savory flavor. They are perfect for a snack or a light meal. They can be made with fresh or active dry yeast. If you use fresh yeast, be sure to proof it before adding it to the dough. The dough should be kneaded thoroughly and then let rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. The pretzels are then shaped into pretzels, boiled, and baked. Onion pretzels are best served warm, right out of the oven.
