PERFECT HOMEMADE PRETZELS

Pretzel is one of the most popular bread products. It's made from dough in a twisted knot shape and sprinkled with salt on top. This is the perfect pretzels recipe which you definitely should try. Eating pretzels is a common thing during working week in Macedonia. I usually eat it with a glass of yogurt.



Ingredients:
  • 4 ½ cups flour
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • 50 g melted butter
  • 1 bag of yeast
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon water
*cup size is 250 ml 

For cooking:
  • 2 l water  
  • 5 tablespoons of baking soda
