Salt and sesame pretzels - A simple and delicious recipe for special moments Preparation time: 30 minutes Baking time: 20 minutes Total time: 50 minutes Number of servings: 12 pretzels Salt and sesame pretzels are a delicacy that combines tradition with flavor, perfect for snacks, parties, or simply to be enjoyed with a warm drink. This easy-to-follow recipe will help you achieve golden and crunchy pretzels with a soft texture inside and a savory crust. Ingredients: - 500 g wheat flour (choose a high-protein flour for a more elastic dough) - 10 g salt - 10 g sugar (to activate the yeast) - 7 g dry yeast (or 20 g fresh yeast) - 300 ml warm water (not hot, to avoid killing the yeast) - 50 g melted butter (optional, for a richer taste) - 100 g sesame seeds (for sprinkling on top) - 1 beaten egg (to give a golden color) - 1 teaspoon baking soda (for the baking soda bath) Step 1: Preparing the dough In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt, mixing well. In another bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water, letting the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy. This is the ideal time to activate the yeast. Add the yeast mixture to the bowl with flour and, if using, the melted butter. Knead the dough for 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If it is too sticky, add a little more flour. Step 2: Dough rising Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size. This step is essential for fluffy pretzels. Step 3: Shaping the pretzels Once the dough has risen, sprinkle a little flour on the work surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope about 40 cm, then shape the pretzel by joining the ends. Place the pretzels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Step 4: Baking soda bath Preheat the oven to 220°C. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the baking soda. Dip each pretzel in the water and baking soda solution for 30 seconds, then remove them and place them back on the baking sheet. This step will give the pretzels a distinctive texture and beautiful color. Step 5: Decorating and baking Brush each pretzel with the beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Bake the pretzels in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden. Step 6: Serving Let the pretzels cool on a rack for a few minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, alongside a cheese dip or hummus for a delicious appetizer. Practical tips: - Use high-quality flour for better results. - You can experiment with different spices added to the dough, such as oregano or garlic powder, to add a unique flavor. - Instead of sesame, try using poppy seeds or grated cheese for a different taste. This quick and simple treat will delight both your loved ones and guests, surely becoming a favorite in your home! Whether you enjoy them fresh and warm or save them for a snack later, salt and sesame pretzels are a perfect choice!
