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!
