When I discovered Bob’s Red Mill Artisan Bread Flour, I knew it would make for a chewy, soft pretzel. Along with their bread flour, I also used Bob’s Red Mill baking soda for the pretzel bath and Bob’s Red Mill active dry yeast in my pretzel dough. Bob’s Red Mill is a natural food company with premium quality ingredients. They are available online or at many local supermarkets across the nation.

Using Bob’s Red Mill bread flour, I made jalapeño pretzels. They came out really good. It is important to follow the steps as noted including the baking soda and water bath for the signature pretzel flavor.

Keyword: Gluten-Free, Vegetarian, Jain Friendly

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Bob's Red Mill bread flour
  • 2 1/4 tsp Bob's Red Mill active dry yeast
  • 2 tbsp Bob's Red Mill baking soda for pretzel bath
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar for activating yeast
  • 1 tsp salt for activating yeast
  • 1 cup warm water for activating yeast
  • 4 cups hot water for pretzel bath
  • 2 tbsp melted butter salted
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños minced, topping
  • 1 tsp sea salt topping
  • 1 tbsp melted butter topping

Instructions

  • First, we need to activate the yeast. In a measuring cup, mix together warm water, brown sugar, salt and active dry yeast. Let is sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is frothy.
  • In a mixing bowl, mix together flour, melted butter and yeast until a dough forms.
  • Grease a bowl with oil. Place dough in greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or damp towel. Let it sit for at least an hour.
  • After an hour, the dough should double in size. Knead dough on lightly floured surface.
  • Using a pizza cutter or pastry scraper, cut dough into 6 pieces.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F and grease a baking sheet.
  • In a deep pan, mix baking soda with hot water.
  • To make pretzels, you will need to take each round dough ball and roll into a long rope, around 20 inches long. Twist the ends and bring the ends down into a pretzel shape.
  • Dip pretzel into the baking soda bath. Do not skip this important step.
  • Place pretzel on greased baking sheet. Add on your toppings of sea salt, pickled jalapeños and brush with melted butter.
  • Bake in oven at 400°F for 8 – 10 minutes until pretzels are golden brown.
  • Enjoy warm with cheese dip or mustard.
