Giant Soft Pretzels image

This pretzel recipe came out of a National Geographic kids magazine back in the late 70's. I loved to read and loved spending time in the kitchen making a mess so this recipe is the best of both worlds. They are very easy to make and something fun to do with your kids. You can mix them in either a stand mixer with dough hook...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 c plus 2 tbsp water (70 to 80f)
3 c ap flour
3 Tbsp brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
2 qt water
1/2 c baking soda
1/2 c coarse salt

Steps:

  • 1. Place first 4 ingredients in order listed into mixer with dough hook or bread machine according to manufacturer. Select dough setting & check to see if water or more flour is needed as mixing begins. It should turn into a ball, slightly sticky but holding shape to itself. While this process is taking place, get a large pot of water with 1/2 cup baking soda dissolved in it, it should be able to hold two pretzels at a time.
  • 2. When cycle is completed turn dough onto floured surface. Divide dough into eight balls. Roll each into 20" (inch) rope; form into a traditional pretzel shape and set aside on sprayed wax paper.
  • 3. Drop two pretzels @ a time into water; boil for 10-15 seconds. Remove & drain on side towels.
  • 4. Place pretzels on greased baking sheets. Bake @ 425F degrees for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and press into a salt that has been spread onto a plate. Then enjoy

I'm not a big fan of pretzels, but these ones were really good. The dough was soft and chewy, and the crust was crispy. I'll definitely be making these again.

These pretzels were a little too salty for my taste, but otherwise they were very good. I think I'll use less salt next time.

These pretzels were a bit too soft for my taste, but they were still very good. I think I'll try baking them for a few minutes longer next time.

These pretzels were a lot of work, but they were totally worth it. They're so soft and fluffy, and they have the perfect amount of chewiness. I'll definitely be making these again for my next party.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The pretzels were tough and chewy, and they didn't have much flavor. I think I'll stick to my old pretzel recipe.

These pretzels were a disaster. The dough was too wet and sticky, and the pretzels didn't hold their shape. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm a pretzel purist, and I have to say that these pretzels are as close to perfect as you can get. The flavor is spot-on, and the texture is just right. I'll definitely be making these again and again.

These pretzels were a disappointment. The dough was too sticky and difficult to work with, and the pretzels didn't rise properly. I won't be making these again.

I love that this recipe uses lye to give the pretzels that authentic flavor. It really makes a difference.

I've made these pretzels several times now, and they always turn out perfect. They're so soft and fluffy on the inside, and the crust is just the right amount of chewy.
