When I saw a picture of pretzel rolls on Pinterest, I knew it was something I’d like. I love soft pretzels, especially freshly homemade, and I love rolls. I printed the recipe off immediately.
I finally made them last night, and they did not disappoint. They have the chewy outer crust of a pretzel and the creamy fluffy insides of a dinner roll. They’re best fresh, but not bad at all on the second day.
The recipe is simple enough, but like pretzels, they are boiled before being baked, so it takes a little more time and makes a bigger mess.
I made an especially big mess. The recipe reads “”In a large saucepan, bring 2 quarts of water to a low boil. Add the baking soda and lower heat to a simmer.” I brought the water to a boil that was not really “low”, so when I added the baking soda, it foamed up and boiled over immediately. I also don’t know that a 1/4 cup of baking soda is necessary. I seem to remember making pretzels before with a recipe that called for something like 2 tablespoons. So next time I will try using a little less.
The recipe specifies active dry yeast but I used instant with no problems. I decreased the yeast amount to 1/2 tablespoon, and cut the rise times in half.
These look delicious!
Oh, I’ve pinned these from Pintrest too, but not got around to making them yet. They look absolutely delicious, and your pointers about the mess have been noted for when I attempt them!
I’ve been getting quite a few recipes off of Pinterest lately, but only about half of them have turned out well. This one is a definite keeper, though.
They had what I thought was a very smooth texture I liked.
I love pretzel rolls. I purchased them and then attempted to replicate them. I am definitely not a bread maker. That is left for the professional bakers…, like you my dear! These look over the top incredible & delicious!
Thank you. I had never seen them before I saw the recipe, but we don’t have many bakeries around here.
