Pretzels

As mentioned in the last post, I like Kai's Brezel recipe. It works. I used baking soda, and after rereading the directions, I realized that my first two batches came out weird because the baking soda solution needs to be hot to get the action needed.

Kai is metric, here's US for you:

4 C flour
1 C water
1 Tbsp dry malt extract (table sugar if you don't have it...but it won't be the same)
2 tsp salt
2 tsp butter
1 tsp yeast

bath:
4 tsp baking soda
2 C water
