Pretzels - Hard and Soft image

Posted in response to a request for a recipe for hard pretzels. EDITED TO ADD: After seeing Marlene's photo and reading her review, I just had to try this recipe immediately. Made soft preztels w/ my granddaughter this morning and they were both easy and good. From start to finish, it didn't take very long at all. A great project to do w/ kids!

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (1/4 ounce) package dry yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
4 cups flour
1 large egg, beaten
coarse salt, to taste

Steps:

  • SOFT PRETZELS:
  • Dissolve yeast in water, add salt and sugar.
  • Blend in all the flour and knead until smooth.
  • When smooth, cut dough into small pieces and roll into ropes. Twist ropes into conventional pretzel shapes and place on a paper-lined cookie sheet.
  • Brush pretzels with beaten egg, sprinkle with coarse salt.
  • Bake in a 425 degree oven for 12-15 minutes, or until brown. These do not keep long.
  • HARD PRETZELS:
  • Do everthing above, but decrease water to 1-1/4 cups and add 1/4 cup of melted butter.
  • Make pretzels smaller and bake until browned.
  • These pretzels will stay good for months in a tight container.

The pretzels were a bit too bland for my liking. I think I'll try adding more salt and pepper next time.

The pretzels were a bit too soft for my liking. I think I'll try kneading the dough for a longer amount of time next time.

The pretzels were a bit too hard for my liking. I think I'll try baking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

The pretzels were a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise they were delicious. I'll try using less salt next time.
