Pretzels

Fresh made soft pretzels are just so darn good...and easy to make.

Pretzels:
10.5 oz water
.33 oz yeast
16 oz flour
.1 oz salt
.3 oz sugar
Soda wash:
8 oz water
1 oz baking soda

Make soda wash. Mix water and soda. Bring to a simmer.

While that is heating. Mix water with yeast and sugar. Let sit 5 mins. Mix flour and salt. Mix yeast mixture with flour. Once dough has came together knead for a couple of mins. Scale into 5 oz pieces and shape. Dip into soda wash. When they float take out and place on sheet pan. Sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake at 500 f for 8 -9 mins. Brush with melted butter. I like to sprinkle mine with parm cheese :-)
