Aunt Annie’s Soft Pretzel Replica Recipe

Recipe Type: Side Dish
Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1 1/8 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup bread flour
  • 3 cups regular flour
  • 2 cups warm water
  • 2 tablespoons baking soda
  • to taste coarse salt
  • 4 tablespoons butter (melted)
Instructions
  1. et rise at least 1/2 hour.
  2. 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 450 degrees F oven for about 10 minutes or until golden. Brush with melted butter and enjoy!
  3. 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. Enjoy!
  4. * The longer and thinner you can make the dough rope, the more like Auntie Anne’s they will be.
  5. *Sweet butter, not regular butter, is one of her secrets!
