This is not an exact recipe from Auntie Anne's, but pretty darn close.
This recipe gets rave reviews from everyone that has ever tried it and made it.
1 hour | 35 min prep | SERVES 4 -6
| 1 1/2 | cups warm water |
| 1 1/8 | teaspoons active dry yeast (1 1/2 pkg.) |
| 2 | tablespoons brown sugar |
| 1 1/8 | teaspoons salt |
| 1 | cup bread flour |
| 3 | cups flour |
| 2 | cups warm water |
| 2 | tablespoons baking soda |
| coarse salt, to taste | |
| 2-4 | tablespoons butter (melted) |
- 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.
- 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 pretzel to rise again. Bake in a 450 degree oven for about 10 minutes or until golden. Brush with melted butter and enjoy.
- Toppings:
- After you brush with butter try sprinkling with coarse salt.Or for Auntie Anne's famous Cinnamon Sugar, try melting a stick of butter in a shallow bowl (big enough to fit the entire pretzel) and in another bowl, make a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. Dip the pretzel into the butter, coating both sides generously. Then dip again into the cinnamon mixture.
