Add the bread flour, and use your hands to gather these ingredients together as best as you can. By now the dough should be stiff, and ready to knead. Place the dough hook on the stand mixer, and mix the dough on the lowest speed for 7 minutes. Cover the bowl and let the dough rest at room temperature for 12 hours.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-2\">Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and transfer the pretzel dough to a clean work surface.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-3\">Roll the dough into a long rope shape and set it in the shape of\u00a0U. Lift the ends of the dough and twist twice. Fold the twist over, and press the ends of the dough together. Cover the pretzel dough with a towel and let this puff up and rise for 60 minutes.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-4\">Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F, and place the oven rack in the center of the oven. Boil 6 glasses of water in a large pot and add 2 tablespoons of baking soda, along with 1 tablespoon of dark brown sugar.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-5\">Drop 3 pretzels at a time in boiling water, for 30 seconds, then use a mesh strainer to remove them and place them onto a parchment paper. Brush each pretzel with an egg wash and sprinkle some coarse salt over them.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-6\">Bake the pretzels for 12-14 minutes, until they\u2019re light golden brown.<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"tasty-recipes-other-details\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"secondary-color.background-color\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"author\"><span class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-label-color.color\">Author:<\/span> <span data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-value-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-author-name\">Natasha Krajnc<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"cook-time\"><span class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-label-color.color\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" class=\"detail-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#tasty-recipes-icon-clock\"\/><\/svg>Cook Time:<\/span> <span data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-value-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-cook-time\">14 mins<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"category\"><span class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-label-color.color\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" class=\"detail-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#tasty-recipes-icon-folder\"\/><\/svg>Category:<\/span> <span data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-value-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-category\">bread<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"cuisine\"><span class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-label-color.color\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" class=\"detail-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#tasty-recipes-icon-flag\"\/><\/svg>Cuisine:<\/span> <span data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-value-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-cuisine\">German<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Making Soft Sourdough Pretzels | So Easy To Make!\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EIbkt9hURas?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"baking-schedule\">Baking Schedule<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Day 1<\/strong>: <strong>8 AM<\/strong> \u2013 Feed Starter<\/li>\n<li><strong>8 PM<\/strong> \u2013 Mix pretzel dough, cover and ferment on the kitchen counter overnight<\/li>\n<li><strong>Day 2:<\/strong> <strong>8 AM<\/strong> \u2013 Divide the dough, shape the pretzels, cover and rise. <\/li>\n<li><strong>8.30 AM<\/strong> \u2013 Prepare boiling water with baking soda and dark brown sugar<\/li>\n<li><strong>9 AM<\/strong> \u2013 Boil the pretzels, coat in an egg wash, add a sprinkle of salt, then bake. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-you-use-a-sourdough-discard-to-make-pretzels\">Can You Use a Sourdough Discard to Make Pretzels?<\/h2>\n<p>You can use a sourdough discard for this soft sourdough pretzel recipe.

Boiling soft pretzels allows them to achieve a wonderful puffiness, before they eventually bake in the oven. <\/p>\n<p>Like sourdough bread, these pretzels require moisture, to achieve a desired result. This means that the crust is set from boiling, and while the pretzels bake, it becomes chewier from the moisture. <\/p>\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\/09\/CD-blog-images-2022-09-22T212323.217-720x405.jpg\" alt=\"Sourdough pretzel recipe - making pretzel at home\" class=\"wp-image-3470\" title=\"Sourdough Pretzel Recipe - Easy And Fun Ways Of Making Pretzel At Home 87\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CD-blog-images-2022-09-22T212323.217-720x405.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CD-blog-images-2022-09-22T212323.217-420x236.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CD-blog-images-2022-09-22T212323.217-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CD-blog-images-2022-09-22T212323.217-840x473.jpg 840w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CD-blog-images-2022-09-22T212323.217-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CD-blog-images-2022-09-22T212323.217-1568x882.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CD-blog-images-2022-09-22T212323.217-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CD-blog-images-2022-09-22T212323.217-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CD-blog-images-2022-09-22T212323.217.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"is-pretzel-dough-and-bagel-dough-the-same\">Is Pretzel Dough and Bagel Dough the Same?<\/h2>\n<p>Sourdough pretzel dough is almost the same as <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/sourdough-bagel-recipe\/\">sourdough bagel<\/a><\/strong> dough, in the sense where it has been prepped and boiled in the same way, in hopes to achieve a chewy result.
