Homemade pretzels are a wonderful treat to have in the fall especially with the flavor of beer added to it. Ingredients:
4-3/4 to 5-1/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 envelope (1/4 ounce) quick-rise yeast |
1-1/2 teaspoons salt |
1 teaspoon caraway seeds |
1 cup milk |
1/2 cup beer or nonalcoholic beer |
2 tablespoons canola oil |
2 eggs, lightly beaten |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded gouda cheese |
coarse salt |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, yeast, salt and caraway seeds. In a small saucepan, heat the milk, beer and oil to 120°-130°; add to dry ingredients. Beat just until moistened. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 4-6 minutes. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Divide dough into 14 equal portions; roll each into a 20-in. rope. Cover and let rest 10 minutes longer.
3. Twist into pretzel shapes. Place on greased baking sheets; brush with eggs. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes.
4. Brush again with eggs; sprinkle with Gouda and coarse salt. Bake 12-15 minutes longer or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks. Serve warm. Yield: 14 pretzels.
