Tips:
- Prepare the dough in advance: You can make the dough up to 2 days ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. This will save you time on the day you want to make the wreaths.
- Use a stand mixer: A stand mixer will make it much easier to knead the dough. If you don't have a stand mixer, you can knead the dough by hand, but it will take longer.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough should rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size. You can warm your oven to the lowest setting and then turn it off. Place the dough in the oven with the door closed and let it rise.
- Shape the dough into wreaths: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a 12-inch rope. Bring the ends of the rope together to form a wreath. Place the wreaths on a greased baking sheet.
- Bake the wreaths: Bake the wreaths in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Serve the wreaths: Let the wreaths cool slightly before serving. You can serve them plain or with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Pretzel wreaths are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are soft and chewy on the inside and have a crispy, salty crust on the outside. You can make them ahead of time and store them in the freezer, so they are always ready when you need them. Pretzel wreaths are also a great way to use up leftover dough. So next time you have some extra dough, give this recipe a try!
