Okay so I know these look totally bizarre, but the were so yummy it didn't matter what they looked like. I got a great deal on a bread machine before the holidays and have been testing recipes from it's instruction manual and it included these ugly babies. I am sure you can follow the recipe without the machine and just let it rise for the allotted time, first rise 20 mins then a punch down, second rise 50 mins. They turned out chewy and salty and went really well with yellow mustard to dip.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups bread flour
- 1 and 1/2 tsp. active dry yeast
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. sugar
- 7/8cup water
- 2 Tbsp. coarse Kosher salt
- 1 egg slightly beaten
1. Put ingredients into bread machine according to manufacture directions. Select "dough" setting. Press "Start".
2. When cycle ends, preheat oven to 450 degrees.
3. Divide dough into 12 pieces. Roll each into 8inch rope. Form pretzel shape, or leave in stick form. Place on greased cookie sheet.
4. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse salt.
5. Bake for 12-15 mins until golden brown.
REALITY: I would RECOMMEND giving this recipe a try, I may even try it again without the bread machine to see if I can get the dough to rise better. I have been experimenting with my yeast using and have found a few tricks to make the dough more smooth.
