Auntie’s Delicious Soft Pretzels, Amish Recipe,WELL – this is a yummy one! My kids LOVE to help make these! ENJOY! D,Haven’t made this yet but I believe I know why there are so many “too dry” complaints. Dough….any dough…should be made by weighing the materials. 4 cups of flour loosely placed is about 125 grams. packed and struck – 135 to 140 grams. So 4 cups of flour could be 500 to 540 to 560 grams. 1- 1/4 cups of water is 295 grams. The water / flour ratio is then from 59 % down to 53 %. Much too dry. Get a metric scale and wheigh the materials. They don’t cost that much. I will try…when my old age permits me…a 65 % WC ratio, which is what i normally use for making bread. So… for 1 – 1/4 cups of water (295gms) the flour would be 454 gms.. Try that. Feels to et? add a few gms of flour to feel right.,These are amazing. They are so soft and chewy! used my standmixer with a dough attachment-worked beautifully. used just about 4 cups of all purpose flour and it was great. The baking soda dip worked much better not boiling it as other recipes call for. I baked at 425 degrees for about 8-12 mins and it was perfect. Currently polishing off a second one as I type this lol! This is now my go-to pretzel recipe. Thank you!!!
