Recipe Summary Buttery Soft Pretzels
After spending so much money on those Mall bought pretzels, I thought I'd try making some myself. So here's a recipe that has worked for me. These pretzels are a bit sweeter than other types and are buttery. These are great plain with a bit of pretzel salt or coated with cinnamon and sugar. Once finished, dip the hot pretzel in melted butter and coat with your favorite flavors. Enjoy!Ingredients | Soft Pretzel Recipe No Yeast4 teaspoons active dry yeast1 teaspoon white sugar1 ¼ cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)5 cups all-purpose flour½ cup white sugar1 ½ teaspoons salt1 tablespoon vegetable oil½ cup baking soda4 cups hot water¼ cup kosher salt, for toppingDirectionsIn a small bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in 1 1/4 cup warm water.
