Directions
Chewy Mall Pretzels, I have tried tons of recipes in my quest to duplicate Auntie Anne’s pretzels I found this one on the net, and it really tastes VERY similar to the real thing, best one so far I have tried experimenting with add-ins and toppings One of my faves is adding dried italian seasoning to the dough and sprinkling with parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and coarse salt, dipping , YUM! These turned out surprisingly well after all the mishaps they endured at my hands! Haha first, used dud yeast and the dough wouldn’t rise (it was in date so I didn’t bother proofing it first – mistake!) So I worked another packet of yeast (quick rise this time, all I had on hand) into the dough with another 1/4c water and a little more flour Well, it rose, but by that time it was time for bed! So I wrapped it in plastic wrap (sprayed with pam) and put it in the fridge overnight This morning I saw it had risen more during the night, split open the plastic wrap partway, and the parts exposed were hard as a rock! LOL anyway, I cut off those parts, made my pretzels and baked as directed (except without toppings – like to put mine on afterward)- except I BARELY greased the baking sheet – another BIG mistake! These babies stuck like glue and I ended up ripping off the bottom 1/4 of each pretzel trying to pry them from the pan However, all that said – we managed to force them down INSTANTLY because they were STILL completely delicious even after all I put them through Needless to say, I decided not to take a picture of my mangled, tasty mess but I will post one next time – and there WILL be a next time! Thanks for posting what truly is an easy recipe we will enjoy it over and over! 🙂 **Update** Made these again – YUMMO!!! No mishaps this time :), These pretzels were awesome I thought they tasted very close to Auntie Anne’s pretzels I made the dough in the bread machine and the dough turned out almost perfect I sprinkled a little flour under and over the dough before separating into pieces That bit of flour helped with the stickiness some people experienced Thanks for sharing!
