$.50 Off Auntie Annies Baking Kit. Fresh Baked Pretzels are my favorite snack in the entire universe. Lucky for me,Tiffany makes the world’s best pretzels. Unfortunately for you, you are not married to her so she can’t make them for you. You will have to make them this way. If this mix makes pretzels even close to what they do in the mall then this will be then next best thing.
There are a lot of people asking for the recipe to Tiffany’s magic Pretzel Recipe.
Nothing is better than a hot pretzel. Carb heaven.
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, mix together flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center; add the oil and yeast mixture. Mix and form into a dough. If the mixture is dry, add one or two tablespoons of water. Knead the dough until smooth, about 7 to 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
My spiffy oven has a bread proof setting so I used that. Took a little less than an hour but doubled.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). In a large bowl, dissolve baking soda in hot water.
- When risen, turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope and twist into a pretzel shape. Once all of the dough is all shaped, dip each pretzel into the baking soda solution and place on a greased baking sheet. Sprinkle with kosher salt.
Now is when you recruit the help. My Sister (who destroyed my Kitchen Aid) volunteered to teach the girls how to make a pretzel. Actually they taught her…
Bake in preheated oven for 8 minutes, until browned.
They turned out AMAZING! Can you smell them now? We took some and dipped them in the water/baking soda mixture, and added cinnamon and sugar to them and they were awesome also!
