Pretzel Recipe for Breadmaker
My Breadman breadmaker
came with a recipe book for various breads, doughs, butters, cakes and other desserts. It's very handy and I love experimenting with the recipes. The family favorite is homebaked Pretzels. I love making unique shapes for my pretzels. Here's one that sings...
My husband photographed my process one day, so here are step-by-step photos of me making my homemade Pretzels.
Put ingredients in the breadmaker pan in the following order:
1. 1 1/4 cup water
2. egg yolk, room temperature (reserve egg white for glaze)
3. 1 tbsp oil
4. 2 tbsp sugar
5. 1 tsp salt
6. 1/8 tsp pepper
7. 3 1/2 cups bread flour
8. 1 tbsp active dry yeast
Put the bread pan in the breadmaker and set to Dough Program.
After the breadmaker is done, get the dough out. On a lightly floured surface, cut dough into pieces.
Roll each piece of dough into thin rope.
Shape the rope-shaped dough into pretzels. Place pretzels on a greased baking sheet 1 1/2 inches apart.
Whisk egg white and 1 tbsp water. Brush pretzels with glaze.
Sprinkle with kosher salt on top.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes or until done.

Thanks, Rachel! And thanks to the ladies at CraftGossip.com for featuring my music-theme pretzels on their blog.
I'm not a pro either, but something to remember when making shapes out of the pretzel dough is to allow for it to expand, because it will. Make holes large enough so they don't close up when the dough expands.
Glad you enjoyed it!By Modern Wife, At March 28, 2009 7:46 PM

Hey, Raisa! I make this recipe all the time and it's very easy. Maybe I can help if you let me know what's holding you back from making this recipe.
