Tips:

  • Choose fresh ingredients: Use high-quality, fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the pretzels tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Proof the dough properly: Proofing the dough allows the yeast to activate and the dough to rise. This will result in light and fluffy pretzels.
  • Boil the pretzels before baking: Boiling the pretzels before baking gives them their characteristic chewy texture.
  • Bake the pretzels until golden brown: Bake the pretzels until they are golden brown for the best flavor and texture.
  • Enjoy the pretzels fresh: Pretzels are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
