Ballybrado Pretzels
Get that Oktoberfest feeling any time!
Method
- Knead all ingredients – approx. 15 mins by hand or 5 mins slow and 8 mins fast in electric mixer
- Leave dough rest for 10 – 15 mins
- Weigh out into 90g pieces and form rounds
- Cover and leave dough rounds rest for 10 mins.
- Roll out long sausages out of the rounds – approx. 30cm long for pretzel. There should be a thick ‘belly’ in the middle, the rest should be thin
- Sling into pretzel form, place on lined baking tray and leave rest for 20 mins.
- Cover tray, place tray into fridge for at least 1 hour (or overnight).
- Prepare bicarbonate of soda bath – bring 1 litre of water to the boil, add 50g bicarbonate of soda (careful – this foams up quickly but settles down again). Leave simmer.
- Using a large spoon, place one pretzel at a time into the bath for approx. 30 seconds, making sure to submerge it completely
- Take out of bath, place on lined baking tray, sprinkle with coarse salt.
- Score the thick ‘belly’ of the pretzel approx. 2cm
- Bake in preheated oven at 240°C for approx. 12 mins
Tip: Pretzels are great for dipping into cream cheese flavoured with paprika and onions!
Variation: If you don't fancy slinging pretzels, you can also just make round or oval rolls. They taste just as good and are somewhat more practical if you are planning on putting a slice of cheese/ham on top :)
INGREDIENTS
500g Ballybrado Organic Strong White Wheat Flour
260g water, cold
10g salt
20g fresh yeast or 1 sachet quick action dry yeast
25g butter
15g sugar
