Why your pretzel dough feels wrong (it isn’t) 🥨
Pretzel dough is stiffer and drier than the bread dough you’re used to. Press it and it springs right back. First time through, folks think they did something wrong. You didn’t. That firmness is the whole point. It’s what lets you roll long ropes that hold their shape through the bath and into the oven.
And if your rope keeps shrinking back on you while you roll, stop fighting it. Cover it, let it rest five to ten minutes, and come on back. The gluten relaxes and it’ll stretch easy. Patience beats muscle every time.
Perfection is not required. Progress is.
