I can’t do the bake along this weekend so went an entirely different route. Made some sourdough pretzels - salt with cheese dip and then a couple cinnamon & sugar with icing. A very unconventional, but filling breakfast.
I used the recipe from the pantry here. Had to add quite a bit of water (teaspoon at a time) to the stand mixer to get the dough to come together. Probably could have added even a tad more. The BF took a good 24 hours. It’s snowy and cold here so the kitchen is pretty chilly at the moment. Rolling the sections was a struggle. Wet my hands fairly often and it helped. Pretzel bites are much easier, har har. I added a couple pinches of dark brown sugar to the soda boil bath (a trick I heard elsewhere to help with color). They took about 16 minutes to bake. I think next time, I’ll add yeast to the sourdough recipe to make it easier to work with. But I’m pretty happy with the first attempt 😁🥨
