This ensures minimal waste, through the production of delicious treats. <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-youll-need-for-this-recipe\">What You\u2019ll Need For This Recipe<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sourdough starter discard<\/strong>: For a quick and easy sourdough recipe, you can use a discard instead of a sourdough starter. The sourdough discard will ensure your pretzels impart a wonderful sourdough flavor, although the discard will <em>not <\/em>contribute to the rise in the dough. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Commercial yeast<\/strong>: This will help your dough rise especially if you\u2019re using a sourdough discard in this soft pretzel recipe. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Flour<\/strong>: Both bread flour and all-purpose flour are good candidates for this sourdough pretzel recipe. Aim for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/best-flour-for-sourdough\/\">flour<\/a><\/strong> that has 13% protein and below. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Baking soda<\/strong>: This is an essential ingredient for homemade sourdough pretzels. Dunking your pretzels in a baking soda bath enables them to develop a unique color, and crispy exterior, with a soft and chewy interior. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter<\/strong>: You can use melted butter with oil, or a combination of both. This helps create both flavor and sheen to your sourdough pretzels. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Pretzel salt<\/strong>: You can top your homemade pretzels with anything you fancy, but I like to add a little <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unclehenry.com\/what-is-pretzel-salt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">pretzel salt<\/a>, for extra flavor. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/CD-blog-images-51-720x405.jpg\" alt=\"Delicious and soft sourdough pretzels\" class=\"wp-image-4845\" title=\"Delicious And Soft Sourdough Pretzels 111\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/CD-blog-images-51-720x405.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/CD-blog-images-51-420x236.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/CD-blog-images-51-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/CD-blog-images-51-840x473.jpg 840w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/CD-blog-images-51-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/CD-blog-images-51-1568x882.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/CD-blog-images-51-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/CD-blog-images-51-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/CD-blog-images-51.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-make-sourdough-pretzels\">How to Make Sourdough Pretzels<\/h2>\n<p>These sourdough discard pretzels bring forth a beautiful brown color, with an incredibly soft and chewy interior, followed by a subtle hint of sourdough tang.

It should look like a loose triangle.<\/li>\n<li>Now twist the end of the right rope, under the left once more.<\/li>\n<li>Pull the twist down, so that it sits at the base of the triangle, and the ends hang down slightly.

Boiling your homemade sourdough pretzels is an essential step in this sourdough pretzel recipe in order to achieve a brilliantly chewy crust, with a delightfully soft interior. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruceeats.com\/german-pretzel-history-4796280\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Traditional German pretzels<\/a> are boiled in lye, but to make this recipe more home-kitchen friendly, I\u2019ve decided to stick with the safest option which is baking soda. Baking soda helps your sourdough pretzel dough achieve a beautiful puffiness, with a unique crust color and chewy texture. <\/p>\n<p>This means that the pretzel\u2019s crust has already been set before it is placed into the oven, becoming chewier while baking. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-to-serve-with-sourdough-pretzels\">What to Serve With Sourdough Pretzels?<\/h2>\n<p>Sourdough pretzels can be eaten like any other pretzel. Since these soft and chewy pretzels are laced with a subtle, yet flattering sourdough tang, they\u2019re incredibly delicious when devoured on their own. <\/p>\n<p>However, if you wish to conduct a flavor-filled experiment, then why not pair your delicious sourdough pretzels with some of the scrumptious options below:<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"beer-cheese-dip\">Beer Cheese Dip<\/h3>\n<p>Looking for the perfect evening treat? Serve this beer cheese dip with a super-soft, homemade sourdough discard pretzel. Simply rip and dip your pretzel into ooey-gooey heaven! <\/p>\n<p>If you ever run out of pretzels, don\u2019t fret, because this cheesy dip tastes just as good with broccoli florets, toasted baguette slices, crackers, and so much more!<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ingredients\">Ingredients<\/h4>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2 tbsp butter<\/li>\n<li>3 tbsp all-purpose flour<\/li>\n<li>\u00be to 1 cup milk<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd cup beer<\/li>\n<li>2 tsp Dijon mustard<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd tsp garlic powder<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd tsp onion powder<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd tsp paprika <\/li>\n<li>\u00bc tsp. cayenne pepper<\/li>\n<li>\u00bc tsp kosher salt<\/li>\n<li>1 oz cream cheese<\/li>\n<li>3 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"instructions\">Instructions<\/h4>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Place butter and flour in a large saucepan. Heat the pan until the flour has dissolved into the butter and a thick paste has formed. Cook for another 20 to 30 seconds. <\/li>\n<li>Lower the heat to low, then add a dribble of milk, whilst continuously whisking the paste to loosen it. Repeat, until \u00be cup of milk has been poured in. <\/li>\n<li>Gradually add the beer, stir gently drop some cream cheese into the saucepan, until it has completely melted. <\/li>\n<li>Whisk in the mustard, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alices.kitchen\/other\/3-cloves-garlic-to-minced\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">garlic powder<\/a>, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt in the pan. <\/li>\n<li>Add shredded cheese, and stir until thoroughly incorporated. <\/li>\n<li>If the dip appears a little thick, then add another \u00bc cup of milk to the saucepan. <\/li>\n<li>Pour the cheese dip into a serving dish and serve with freshly baked sourdough pretzels.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"hummus\">Hummus<\/h3>\n<p>Hummus is another great dip for you to indulge in. It\u2019s creamy, tangy, and incredibly delicious when paired with soft sourdough pretzels. <\/p>\n<p>I like to dip <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/sourdough-breadsticks\/\">sourdough breadsticks<\/a><\/strong> into a plate of fresh hummus, the flavors are particularly heavenly!<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ingredients\">Ingredients<\/h4>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>250g dried chickpeas<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd tsp. baking soda<\/li>\n<li>6 \u00bd cups tap water<\/li>\n<li>310g whole brown sesame seeds<\/li>\n<li>1 tbsp. toasted sesame oil<\/li>\n<li>\u00bc cup extra virgin olive oil<\/li>\n<li>\u00bc cup lemon juice<\/li>\n<li>6 peeled cloves of garlic<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd \u2013 \u00be cup cold water<\/li>\n<li>2 tsp. kosher salt<\/li>\n<li>2-4 tsp of your choice of spices (I like to use cumin, cayenne, coriander, cardamom, ginger powder, and turmeric)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"instructions\">Instructions<\/h4>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Place dried chickpeas in a large bowl and submerge in water for 8-12 hours or overnight. Drain the chickpeas and place them in a large pot. Add a sprinkling of baking soda and cook on medium heat for three minutes, whilst stirring continuously. Add tap water, and bring this to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 30 minutes. Cook the chickpeas until their soft enough to squish between your fingers. Then drain.<\/li>\n<li>Once they\u2019ve cooked, place the sesame seeds in a food processor. Turn the food processor on, and slowly add a drizzle of sesame oil, olive oil, and lemon juice. Turn off the processor and scrape any excess off the sides of the machine. Add the garlic cloves into the processor and blend. Add \u00bd cup of water, and process till the mixture has turned into a paste. <\/li>\n<li>Add the drained chickpeas, salt, and seasonings, continuing to process until thick paste forms. Remember to scrape down the sides of the processor if needed. If your hummus is too thick, simply add some more water to thin out the paste. <\/li>\n<li>Scoop out the hummus, and drop it into a large container. Place the hummus in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving. Top with chickpeas, fresh coriander, and chili powder.

Set this aside for 45 minutes, and let the dough rise. <\/li>\n<li>Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the dough onto a work surface and fold the dough a few times to deflate the air. Divide the dough into 12 equal parts. <\/li>\n<li>Roll the dough into a ball and then into a rope. The rope should be around 18-inches in length. <\/li>\n<li>Take the ends of the rope and crisis-cross them to make a loop. Twist the rope once more, then bring the ends back over the top of the pretzel and tuck them in. <\/li>\n<li>Place the pretzels, 2 inches apart, on a lightly greased cookie sheet. <\/li>\n<li>Dissolve 1 tablespoon of sugar in water, and brush the tops of the pretzels with this mixture.

Generally, both all-purpose flour, and bread flour are good choices of flour to use in this soft sourdough pretzel recipe. Any type of flour that is higher than 13% protein may result in a dense crumb. <\/p>\n<p>Moreover, your sourdough pretzel dough must be puffy before they\u2019re added to boiling water. They should look like twisted puffs of dough. If they\u2019re not puffy, they will certainly emerge dense after baking. <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"473\" height=\"840\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/sourdough-pretzels-2-473x840.jpg\" alt=\"Delicious and soft sourdough pretzels\" class=\"wp-image-13182\" title=\"Delicious And Soft Sourdough Pretzels 113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/sourdough-pretzels-2-473x840.jpg 473w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/sourdough-pretzels-2-236x420.jpg 236w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/sourdough-pretzels-2-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/sourdough-pretzels-2-864x1536.jpg 864w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/sourdough-pretzels-2-150x267.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/sourdough-pretzels-2.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 473px) 100vw, 473px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"soft-sourdough-pretzels\">Soft Sourdough Pretzels<\/h2>\n<p>Sourdough recipes like these are so delicious, they\u2019ll make your moth water!
