Ahoy there, Detective Pux at your service! Today, I'm going to teach you how to make a "Schwäbische Pretzel Roll," a tasty twist on the traditional German pretzel. These soft and chewy rolls are perfect for sandwiches, burgers, or even just as a snack on their own.
Ingredients:
- 500g of all-purpose flour
- 10g of active dry yeast
- 5g of sugar
- 5g of salt
- 300ml of warm water
- 20g of baking soda
- Coarse sea salt (for topping)
Instructions:
-
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
-
Slowly add the warm water, stirring until a soft dough forms.
-
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
-
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour or until doubled in size.
-
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
-
Divide the dough into 8-12 equal pieces, depending on the size you prefer.
-
Roll each piece of dough into a ball, then flatten it into a round disk.
-
Place the disks onto a lined baking sheet, cover with a damp cloth, and let them rise for another 10-15 minutes.
-
Boil the baking soda in a large pot of water for 2-3 minutes.
-
Place each disk into the boiling water for 30 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and place back onto the lined baking sheet.
-
Sprinkle the pretzel rolls with coarse sea salt and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
Allow the pretzel rolls to cool for 5 minutes, then serve warm with your favorite sandwich filling or toppings.
