Fat-free Soft Pretzels image

Years ago my daughter brought this recipe home from school to do as a project. I just came across it again and couldn't help but remember the fun she had making it (needed a bit of help with the boiling water and oven). They turned out good too, including the ones she made with silly shapes.

Time 28m

Yield 2 pans

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/8 cup water
1 package active dry yeast
1 1/3 cups water
1/3 cup brown sugar
5 cups flour
coarse salt or kosher salt
baking soda

Steps:

  • Dissolve the yeast in the 1/8 c warm water (use a large bowl).
  • Stir in the 1 1/3 c warm water and brown sugar.
  • Slowly mix in the flour.
  • Knead dough (using extra flour for the board and your hands) until it is stretchy and smooth (not sticky).
  • Grease two large cookie sheets.
  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees F.
  • Fill a 2-3 quart saucepan half full of water.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of baking soda for every cup of water.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Talk a golf-ball size piece of dough and roll into a rope as thich as your thumb.
  • Bend into a U-shape, cross ends, twist crossed ends making a full turn, then fold the ends back toward the middle of the U.
  • Press ends into dough firmly.
  • Should be the familiar pretzel shape.
  • Other shapes (including candy cane shapes for Christmas) also work.
  • Lower pretzel in boiling water for 30 seconds, remove from water (getting rid of any excess water) and place on greased cookie sheet.
  • Sprinkle with coarse or kosher salt.
  • Repeat until all the dough has been used.
  • Bake for 8 minutes or until golden.

These pretzels were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either. I probably won't be making these again.

These pretzels were a waste of time. They were hard and tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe.

I'm not a big fan of pretzels, but these were actually pretty good. They were soft and fluffy, and the flavor was nice. I would definitely eat these again.

These pretzels were a bit too salty for my taste, but they were still good. I would recommend using less salt next time.

These pretzels were okay. They weren't as soft as I would have liked, and the flavor was a bit bland. I probably won't be making these again.

These pretzels were a bit of a disappointment. The dough was difficult to work with, and the pretzels didn't rise very well. The flavor was also bland.
