Chewy Philadelphia-Style Soft Pretzels image

Found this on another recipe site (sorry for cheating on the 'zaar) I though I'd add to the Philly recipes. I haven't tried it yet... So we'll see if this is REAL Philly Soft Pretzels...

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 2h20m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups milk
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup warm water
1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
6 cups all-purpose flour or 6 cups bread flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
1 large egg
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, heat milk just until bubbles form around the edge; remove from the heat and stir in brown sugar. Stir until dissolved then set aside. Meanwhile, combine warm water and yeast. Let stand for 3 minutes then add the cooled milk mixture. Beat in flour until smooth. Cover and set aside for 45 minutes to rise.
  • Stir down the dough then gradually add flour, baking powder, and salt. Place on a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Roll into a 16' x 10-inch rectangle then cut into 1/2-inch wide strips. Roll each strip into a rope and twist into large pretzels. Let rise about 30 minutes.
  • Bring a large kettle of salted water to a boil. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lower the pretzels gently into the boiling water for about 5 seconds then remove and place 2-inches apart on a greased baking sheet.
  • Beat egg and water and lightly brush the pretzel tops. Sprinkle with coarse salt and bake at 400 degrees for 18 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown.

I accidentally used active dry yeast instead of instant yeast, but the pretzels still turned out great.

These pretzels were a bit too soft for my taste. I prefer them to be a bit more chewy.

These pretzels were a bit of a disappointment. They were too dense and not very flavorful.

My pretzels did not turn out as soft and chewy as I would have liked. Not sure what I did wrong.
