Steps:
- Preheat Oven at 250º.
- Get your basic turkey roaster pan and spray the inside with no-stick cooking spray.
- Grab handfuls of pretzels and place them evenly in the roaster, try to avoid dumping in all the excess salt and broken pieces on the bottom of the bag.
- Hand mix together all other ingredients in a seperate bowl until all ingredients are mixed up really well.
- Pour this mixture evenly over the pretzels in the pan.
- Place the lid on and grasp the handles and lid tight and shake the pretzels so that they all are evenly coated.
- Place in the oven for 2 hours, stirring and shaking every 30 minutes.
- Make sure you stir up the pretzels on the bottom of the pan otherwise they will get burnt. When they are done cooking, I usually set the roaster out and let them cool for 15-20 minutes. After that I place them in a large bowl for serving.
Tips:
- Use a large bowl for mixing the dough, as it will be quite sticky at first.
- If the dough is too sticky to handle, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it is smooth and elastic.
- Be careful not to overwork the dough, or it will become tough.
- When rolling out the dough, use a lightly floured surface to prevent it from sticking.
- If you don't have a pizza cutter, you can use a sharp knife to cut the dough into strips.
- Be sure to twist the dough strips tightly around the pretzel rods, or they will unravel when you bake them.
- Sprinkle the pretzels with salt before baking, for a classic pretzel flavor.
- Bake the pretzels until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the pretzels warm, with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Pretzel sparklers are a fun and easy treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, picnics, or as a snack.
