<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThey are really simple to make, but like any yeast dough there is a significant rising time involved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The plan was to sample a few after making them and then freeze the rest so we could take them out a few at a time to reheat and enjoy. They didn't make it much longer than 24 hours. I am making a double batch this afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Soft Pretzel Baking Tips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The secret to the pretzel flavor is how long you boil them in the baking soda bath. If you like them to taste more bread like, boil them in the baking soda bath for 5 to 10 seconds a side. The longer you boil them, the more pretzel flavor. I went about 30 seconds a side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also bake them a little longer for a darker crust. My son likes them on the light side, and had trouble waiting for them to be ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Soft Pretzel Variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Feel free to make them without the bacon and Parmesan if you want. I made half plain with just a little pretzel salt on top and both flavors disappeared quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You could make them plain and add your favorite toppings just before baking. Or bake them plain and leave them on the light side and freeze them. Add the toppings before reheating them in the microwave or oven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can mix in any ingredients or add and toppings you want. Here are a few soft pretzel toppings suggestions to get you thinking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- coarse pretzel salt<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- \"everything\" bagel seasoning<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- pizza style (cheese and pepperoni slices)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- garlic butter<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- jalapeno cheddar<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- cinnamon sugar<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- sweet almond<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
