Easy Pretzels

Like everyone else, I've been experimenting with bread products.

I found this 30-minute pretzel recipe from Sally's Baking Addiction:

Don't skip the egg wash at the end or you end up with a dry-looking pretzel.


I added cheese on top of some of the pretzels to create a cheesy pretzel.



1 1/2 cups warm water
1 pkg (2 1/4 tsp) yeast
1 Tbs sugar
1 tsp salt
3 3/4-4 cups flour
1 large egg, beaten
Coarse salt

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line baking sheet with silicone baking mat or parchment paper. If using parchment paper, spray with oil.

Dissolve yeast in warm water and add sugar. After mixture is bubbly, add salt and flour. Add enough flour so dough is not sticky. 

Knead for a few minutes. Divide into 12 sections. Roll into long rope and shape to resemble pretzel.

You can boil the pretzels in 9 cups water mixed with 1/2 cup baking soda for 20-30 seconds. This step is not necessary.

Dunk the pretzel in beaten egg and sprinkle coarse salt on top. 


Bake for 10 minutes then broil for 5 minutes to give it a brown top.
