Soft Bavarian-Style Pretzels
Chewy, mahogany-crusted pretzels with that unmistakable flavor from a quick baking-soda bath. Great with whole-grain mustard.
Instructions
- Combine the water, sugar, and yeast. Add the flour, salt, and oil; knead 6 minutes until smooth. Rise 1 hour.
- Preheat to 425°F and bring the soda bath to a boil in a wide pot.
- Divide into 8 pieces, roll each into a 24-inch rope, and twist into pretzel shapes.
- Boil each pretzel 30 seconds, lift out with a slotted spatula, and place on a parchment-lined sheet.
- Sprinkle with pretzel salt and bake 12–15 minutes until deep brown.
- Brush with a little melted vegan butter or olive oil and serve warm.
Baker's tip
Ropes too springy? Let them rest 5 minutes; the gluten relaxes and they'll stretch.
