I use the “fold and press” method (I have no idea if it’s called that, but that’s what we’re going with).Ĭontinue doing this until the dough ball is nice and smooth. Once you combine all of your ingredients together, you’ll want to knead the dough on a lightly floured surface. I like my pretzels with a hint of sweetness, which is why I don’t mind throwing in a tiny bit of sugar, but it doesn’t make a huge difference in flavor and can be omitted completely. The sugar is optional! In my original pizza recipe, I use some garlic powder and no sugar at all. Outside of flour, the recipe only requires yeast, salt, and some sugar. Otherwise, you can use all-purpose flour, but the dough isn’t quite as easy to work with. A close alternative is bread flour, and that should work very well. While I don’t advise a different flour when it comes to pizza, it won’t be quite as big an issue with pretzels. You can grab the one I bought off Amazon right here. It is SO elastic, and it allows you to stretch the dough very, very easily. If you want to make a great dough, I can’t recommend it enough. Pizza Flour: A lot of people haven’t heard of this, and that’s totally fine! Basically, pizza flour is super fine flour. I know this is what prevents a lot of people from trying it.īut, when it comes to pretzels, you don’t need a fancy oven! A regular oven (or even an air fryer) work beautifully. Without a pizza oven, you don’t get quite the same result. The “problem” with this recipe, if you can call it that, is that it works best if you have a pizza oven.
#Pizza pretzel trial
My Neapolitan pizza crust recipe is my baby- it took a lot of trial and error, but I’m very pleased with the final result! You can use store-bought pizza dough or make your own! I highly recommend making your own, but if you want to whip up pretzels in just minutes without any extra work (it’s especially fun for the kids) then you can very easily buy some pre-made dough. So, why not take that dough and turn it into pretzels?Īll the work was already done, and I had fresh baked pretzels in about 15 minutes. When I had leftover pizza dough from my pizza recipe, I needed to find something to do with it (I was pizza’d out, believe it or not). Whether it’s Auntie Anne’s, Bavarian, or boring ballpark pretzels, I’m eating them. If I’m going out to eat and pretzels are on the menu as an option, you bet your butt I’m ordering them. Pretzels are probably my favorite snack of all time.
