You can add the rest of the additional flour if it’s very sticky.
The mixture will be a very loose mixture at this point.
In a medium saucepan, you want to heat the milk, water, and butter to a temperature between 120-130 oF over medium heat.Make sure you keep the yeast and salt separate as the salt can kill the yeast. Start by combining the brown sugar, salt, flour and yeast.You will add baking soda to the boiling water to help create that chewy crust. Baking soda– This is not used in the actual dough, but is used in the boiling step.I haven’t tested with a low-fat or plant-based milk. Milk – I recommend using whole milk for the added fat to help create a tender dough.If you use active dry yeast the rising times would increase. It’s a great yeast with dough enhancers that make it perfect if you’re a beginner to baking with yeast. Yeast – I used Red Star Platinum instant yeast.And before the pretzel dogs are baked I also sprinkled on a coarse sea salt or you can use pretzel salt. I used kosher salt in the pretzel dough but sea salt or table salt would also work. Salt – There are two different salts in the recipe.

So since Memorial Day weekend is coming soon and that really marks the beginning of summer and days of grilling and barbeques I thought a fun savory pretzel option needed to happen here. I had so much fun making these cinnamon sugar pretzels recently, but I have to admit when it comes to pretzels my brain envisions savory and salty things. Anyone feel like a kid again just looking at these? Nothing like a strawberry shortcake or blackberry crumble with a bit scoop of ice-cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top to finish the meal.īut what about the actual meal? Well I bring to you these super fun to eat, pretzel dogs. Sure fruit desserts are great since berries are in season right now. And my brain has turned to all fun things to bake for summertime. The deck furniture has been pulled out of the shed. We just got a new Weber grill and got that up and running.
