Pretzels
These
aren't like the little crispy ones you can get, they are
much softer, and bigger. They are good for snacks and
taking on picnics.
You
need - for 8-10:
250 ml warm water
a pinch of sugar
2 tsp of salt
375g plain flour
9g easy blend yeast
Combine
all the ingredients in a bowl. Knead for 10 mins after
which the dough should feel quite springy. Return the dough
o the bowl and cover. Leave in a warm place to
double in size, the time it takes will depend on how
warm it is.45 mins -1 hr at room temp.
Meanwhile put a
large pan of water on to boil. And pre heat the oven to
190°c.
Once risen roll it out into 30-40 cm 'sausages' twist
into pretzel shape. Submerge each in the boiling
water for 30 seconds or so, sprinkle with sea salt and transfer
to a baking tray and cook for 12-15 mins. They
should be almost underdone in the very centre.
