Yum and it's rated a B - Whole Wheat Pretzels
Ingredients:
1/2 cup warm water
1 1/8 teaspoon active dry yeast
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup bread flour
3 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups warm water
2 tablespoons baking soda
2 tablespoons butter (melted)
Directions:
1. Sprinkle yeast on lukewarm water in mixing bowl; stir to dissolve. Add sugar, salt and stir to dissolve; add flour and knead dough until smooth and elastic. Let rise at least 1/2 hour.
2. While dough is rising, prepare a baking soda water bath with 2 cups warm water and 2 Tbsp baking soda. Be certain to stir often. After dough has risen, pinch off bits of dough and roll into a long rope* (about 1/2 inch or less thick) and shape. Dip pretzel in soda solution and place on greased baking sheet. Allow pretzels to rise again (1/2 hour). Bake in 450 oven for about 10 minutes or until golden. Brush with just a little melted butter and enjoy!
3. Toppings: after you brush with butter try sprinkling with coarse salt or a little splenda/cinnamon. Enjoy!
4. * The longer and thinner you can make the dough rope, the more like Auntie Anne's they will be.
