Pretzel Salt by Medley hills farm 2 lbs. in Reusable Container - Heat Resistant Premium Course Pretzel Salt - Great for Soft Pretzels, Bagels - Kosher - Made in USA

Homemade soft pretzels are rather easy to make once one has the ingredients on hand: 635g Bread flour; 14g yeast, 5g salt, 22g Barley Malt Syrup, 355g water, and Sodium hydroxide for the dipping bath. The Barley Malt Syrup, the food grade sodium hydroxide, the yeast, and this salt are all available on Amazon.A good mixer, such as an Ankarsrum, will be needed. Or, if a KitchenAid is all you have, go easy and mix the heavy, stiff dough on no more than Speed 2 for no more than 2 minutes at a time. Let the KitchenAid cool 4-5 minutes between kneading; repeat 5 or six times. With the Ankarsum, just mix for 10-12 minutes at any speed you like using the bar and scraper or, my preference, the roller and scraper, either works.If you knead the dough by hand, plan to spend fifteen or twenty minutes. It's a good work out.Amounts make 10 soft pretzels.Form ropes from ~100g of this dough about 24" long and make the pretzel shape. Thinner ropes are more crispy; thicker ropes are more chewy.Let rise on parchment lined sheets for ~30-40 minutes. Then while wearing plastic gloves, dunk the risen pretzels in 1M NaOH (40g in 1000ml water) for 30 seconds and lay on parchment paper on a cookie sheet.Finally, for the piece de resistance generously sprinkle the tops of your wet pretzels with this salt and bake at 400°F for 10-12 min. Darker will be more crispy; lighter will be more chew.Though coarse sea salt can be used, this salt which is more opaque sticks better, tastes better, and looks more professional overall.If you make your own soft pretzels as we do, they deserve a salt made especially for that purpose.

We eat a lot of soft pretzels in this house. I mostly buy them frozen, but my son-in-law occasionally makes them from scratch. When you buy the frozen ones they give you such a tiny little salt packet, I’ve been saving those salt packets for years and keeping them in a container. Since I decided to ditch all plastic containers in my home, I purchased a stainless steel pretzel salt shaker with a cover and new pretzel salt, this salt granules is a little bit smaller than the salt they give you with the salt packets, which I prefer, the salt is definitely better quality in my opinion. You get so much of it I think this will last me many years.
