Auntie Anne's Pretzels

Notes: The longer and thinner you can make the dough rope, the more like
Auntie Anne's they will be. (Of course I don't have the counter space!) I 
would like to thank Adrienne for this one! Many, many thanks.
Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup warm water

1 1/8 tsp active dry yeast (1 1/2 pkg)

2 tbsp brown sugar

1 1/8 tsp salt

1 cup bread flour

3 cups regular flour

2 cups warm water

2 tbsp baking soda

To taste, coarse salt

2 - 4 tbsp butter (melted)

Preparation Instructions:

Sprinkle yeast on lukewarm water in mixing bowl; stir to dissolve. Add 
sugar, salt and stir to dissolve; add flour and knead dough until smooth 
and elastic. Let rise at least 1/2 hour. While dough is rising, prepare a 
baking soda water bath with 2 cups warm water and 2 tbsp baking soda. Be 
certain to stir often. After dough has risen, pinch off bits of dough and 
roll into a long rope (about 1/2 inch or less thick) and shape. Dip pretzel 
in soda solution and place on greased baking sheet. Allow pretzels to rise 
again. Bake in oven at 450F for about 10 minutes or until golden. Brush 
with melted butter and enjoy!

Toppings:

After you brush with butter try sprinkling with coarse salt. Or for Auntie 
Anne's famous Cinnamon Sugar, try melting a stick of butter in a shallow 
bowl (big enough to fit the entire pretzel) and in another shallow bowl 
make a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. Dip the pretzel into the butter, 
coating both sides generously. Then dip again into the cinnamon mixture.

Baked Pretzels

Recipe By :

Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Pretzels

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 1/2 tsp yeast

1/2 tsp salt

2 cups bread flour

1/2 can egg substitute

1/4 cup water

1 egg white

1 tbsp water



Add yeast, salt, bread flour, egg substitute, and 1/2 cup water in the 
order suggested by the bread machine manufacturer and process on the dough 
cycle. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray baking sheet with nonfat 
cooking spray. When the dough cycle is complete, remove dough and place on 
lightly-floured surface. Roll dough into 12x4-inch rectangle and cut into 8 
(12-inch) strips. Pull each strip to about 14 inches in length. Form dough 
into pretzel shape: Make a circle; cross the ends at the top, twist the 
ends once and lay over the bottom of the circle. Pretzel logs can also be 
shaped just by making rolled dough into a 12- to 14-inch rope. Place 
pretzels on prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine egg white with 
1 tablespoon water and brush on pretzels. If desired, sprinkle pretzels 
with coarse salt, sesame, or poppy seeds. Bake in preheated oven 15 to 20 
seconds. Serve with mustard or cheese dip.

Whole Wheat Pretzels

Recipe By : Norma Wrenn

Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Pretzels

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

***** NONE *****

norma wrenn

1 Tsp active dry yeast

1/4 Cup warm water -- (110F)

1 3/4 Cups warm milk -- (110F)

3 Tablespoons honey

3 Tablespoons Butter Buds=AE

1/4 Cup wheat germ

5 1/2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour -- about

3/4 Teaspoon baking powder

1 3/4 Teaspoons salt -- omitted used

1/2 Teaspoon garlic salt

2 Egg

coarse salt

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in milk, honey, 
shortening, and wheat germ. Using a wooden spoon or electric mixer, 
gradually mix in 3-1/2 cups of the flour. Beat until dough pulls away from 
sides of bowl in stretchy strands. Cover and let stand in a warm place 
until light and bubbly (about 40 minutes). Meanwhile, combine 1-1/2 cups of 
the flour with the baking powder and the 1-3/4 teaspoons salt; set aside. 
Punch dough down and stir in flour mixture. Turn onto a lightly floured 
board and knead until smooth (about 5 minutes), adding flour as needed to 
prevent sticking. Divide kneaded dough into 4 equal portions. Cut each 
quarter into 12 equal pieces and roll each piece into a rope about 24 
inches long. Cut in half and twist each half into a pretzel. Place 
pretzels, slightly apart and with loose ends turned under, on well-greased 
baking sheets (at least 12 by 15 inches). Brush pretzels with beaten egg 
and sprinkle lightly with coarse salt (omitted). Bake in a preheated 400F 
oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden; transfer to a rack. After all 
pretzels have been baked, turn oven off. Pile baked pretzels onto 2 
ungreased baking sheets and set in turned-off oven for 2 to 3 hours or 
overnight, until thoroughly dried (break one to test).
