When baby G had his birthday, as the theme was Circus, all goodies provided were circus related, you know, like popcorn, peanuts, and pretzels! 😉
These soft pretzels were a hit. The first ones that were gone almost as soon as the guests arrived.
They are super wonderful served warm but good at room temperature too!
4 tsp active dry yeast
1 tsp sugar
1 1/4 c lukewarm water
1 tbsp oil or melted vegan butter
3 - 4 c flour
1/4 - 1/2 c sugar
2 tsp salts (or more if you like saltier)
1/2 c baking soda
4 c hot boiling water
Coarse salts for sprinkling
Bloom yeast with sugar and water.
Combine dry ingredients and make a well in center. Pour oil and yeast. Knead.
Let rest for an hour until doubled in size.
Preheat oven 450 F.
Punch dough, shape into long ropes, then shape ropes into pretzels.
Dip each into baking soda solutions and place them on greased sheets. Sprinkle with salts.
Bake for 8 mins
