Equipment
- bowl
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Melted butter cooled down
- 3 tsp Bob's Red Mill Active Dry Yeast, Recommended
- 5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour/Bread flour
- 2 minced garlic clove
- 3 tsp Pure Honey
- 3 tsp olive oil or vegetable oil
- 6 tsp dark molasses
- Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 2 1/4 cups water
- 3 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine flour and active dry yeast. Stir until combined.
- Add warm water, kosher salt, honey, molasses, and vegetable oil. Stir until everything is combined into a soft dough.
- Knead for about 5 minutes on a lightly floured surface. The dough should be slightly sticky but not too wet.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover it with a damp cloth. Allow the dough to rise for about an hour until it has doubled in size.
- Split the dough into eight equal pieces and roll them out into long ropes. Twist each rope three times, then form it into a pretzel shape.
- Place the pretzels on a lightly greased baking sheet and brush them with melted butter. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top of each pretzel.
- Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool before serving.
Notes
- To ensure the best results, make sure to use warm water when preparing your dough. This will help activate the yeast and give the pretzels a nice rise.
- You can also add other spices like garlic or onion powder to add an extra layer of flavor to the pretzels.
- Be sure to brush the pretzels with melted butter before baking, as this will give them a nice golden brown color.
- For extra crunch and crispiness, you can brush the pretzels with an egg wash before baking.
- For a sweeter pretzel, add a tablespoon of sugar to the dough.
- You can also add your favorite herbs or spices to the dough for an extra flavor boost.
- You can use a variety of cheese on top of the pretzels, such as cheddar, gouda, or even Parmesan!
