These pretzels are making me thirsty.

A couple of weeks ago, there was one of my favorite Good Eat's episode on. Mr Alton Brown was making pretzels. I made these a few years ago and they tasted awesome, but they didn't look very pretty. I thought I was give them another shot. These ones came out looking OK. I made the traditional salted pretzel and then I made some garlic parmesan preztels. Next time, I would like to try to do a nice cinnamon sugar pretzel.
My finished pretzels
Combine warm water, sugar, salt and yeast.



Your gonna need to use the hook kitchen aid attachment and don't forget to tease your dog with the tool.


Hehehehe.

Add your flour and melted butter to your water yeast mixture.


Mix until the mixture comes together.


Then beat on high speed for about 5 minutes.

Cover with a tea towell and stash in a warm place for about an hour. Your dough will double in size.

Devide into 8 equal size balls. Mine are a little uneven. I need a food scale.



Make your traditional pretzel shape or whatever shape you want.

Your gonna soak these raw preztels in boiling water and baking soda for about 30 seconds and then transfer the pretzels to parchment paper covered cookie sheets, and then coat with egg yolk, water and salt. Then bake.
