ALMOST-FAMOUS SOFT PRETZELS RECIPE - FOOD NETWORK
If you’ve ever been seduced by the smell of Auntie Anne’s buttery soft pretzels wafting through a mall or airport, you know why we went begging for the recipe. Of course, Auntie wouldn’t give up her secrets. The company sells more than 95 million pretzels a year, and founder Anne Beiler’s formula has been under tight wraps since she started hand-rolling dough at a Pennsylvania farmers’ market in 1988. No worries: Food Network Kitchens’ recipe developer Sarah Copeland bought a few of the real things and created these tasty clones, plus a version of that famous sweet mustard sauce.

EASY HOMEMADE SOFT PRETZELS RECIPE | CHEFDEHOME.COM

I munching on an extra soft homemade pretzel and sipping Chia tea while typing this post... and  kitchen is filled with pretzel-shop aroma... Aroma like I stepped into a fair and already knew - there is a soft pretzel shop close-by.. baking a fresh batch of pretzels! yumm!

Sharing today a soft pretzel recipe which will bring you taste of the fair at home! Extra soft texture with crusty salty crust yet negligible sugar (my fav). This pretzel recipe uses easy-to-find pantry ingredients and still yields pretzels which are much more lighter than you buy from pretzel shop. 

So, serve these for next family-get-together, or to watch Sunday games or just because you are pretzel-fans like myself. :) Whatever the reason may be, bake a double batch since these disappear faster than you expect.

Soft Homemade German Pretzels for Game Day Party | chefdehome.com

I'm a sucker for good soft pretzel! That crusty crust, soft texture, and perfect amount of salt in every bite.... A good baked soft pretzel is "the treat" for savory snack-freak like myself. For the record, I have to eat a soft pretzel whenever we are in a fair or just happen to visit mall. Since it is not possible to be in mall/fair every now and then..... I figured a best way to satisfy my pretzel-cravings,.... baking soome pretzels at home! :)

I also call my homemade pretzels - humble poor man's pretzels. I mean seriously, there are just 6 basic pantry ingredients in baking this bread snack, favorite of everyone. I'm not sure what ingredients classic German people use to bake pretzels... but this recipe is homemade and it has to be simple and delicious..... that's what makes/encourages me to bake some at home. Just mix simple ingredients, rise dough for 1-2 hour, and then bake for only 10 minutes for a yummy snack to serve for any occasion!

Be it a Irish-theme party, football game day appetizer, Friday movie night or just family-munching time on the weekend.... Honestly, I didn't even need a reason to enjoy few pretzels. ;)

Fresh baked out of oven batch of Soft Pretzels | chefdehome.com

When I baked this batch last weekend.... the first positive reaction came from Vishal when he returned home after running an errand... just opened door and he was like "pretzels!!" His reaction reminds me of an old Indian advertisement where a little boy decides to leave home over a fight and then happen to hear some sweets are being prepared at home... and he is ecstatic at name of his favorite sweet called Jaleebi... screaming "Jalebee!!!" lol

Soft Pretzels served with Beer Cheese Sauce | chefdehome.com

I have been making pretzels from past few years now.... Last time I had chance to click pictures, they did not look so good. Those days I had major camera-angel issues! Sometimes I wonder, how on this earth I saw a 75 degree angle picture fit to share on blog! :) I have a plenty of those... look at my old recipes.

But by the time, that pretzel picture got chance to make to blog, I seriously started thinking about my picture quality. I discarded the old batch of pretzel photos. 

No Special Ingredients like Caustic Soda (what!?!?) Needed:

It's homemade pretzel and does not need out-of-ordinary stuff to make it look pretty (at least). For this reason, I name my homemade pretzels - humble poor man's pretzels, pantry-friendly, safe for kids and safe for everyone. Just so you know, most pretzel recipes call for Caustic Soda to get deep brown crust and Pretzel salt for extra-kick briney salty bite.

I'm not at all sold for caustic soda. I don't buy anything that will not bring value to my kitchen and is not so safe. The simplest replacement of caustic soda is "plain baking soda". It does not create as super-dark brown crust like hard pretzels but it still does a pretty good job (i hope pictures speak for themselves).

For salt, I simply use flaky kosher salt. I live an apartment and don't have huge kitchen cabinet to hold on to a box of salt just for pretzels. Kosher salt works fine for me.

PS: you can also use egg wash for extra glossy crust yet I wanted to keep these pretzels egg-less.

Easy and extra Soft Pretzels favorite of kids and party friendly | chefdehome.com

I'm sharing a plain pretzel version here but you can also add some toppings  like Jalapeno Cheddar Cheese is my all time favorite. Oh, other one is pretzel pizza! :) (will share recipe sometime)

PS: I missed you all yesterday. Happy to be back. I hope you enjoying beginning of a new week. Wish you a great day ahead.  :)

Enjoy! -Savita

COPYCAT AUNTIE ANNE'S SOFT PRETZEL RECIPE - TOP SECRET RE…
The first Auntie Anne's pretzel store opened in 1988 in the heart of pretzel country—a Pennsylvanian Amish farmers' market. Over 500 stores later, Auntie Anne's is one of the most requested secret clone recipes around, especially on the internet. Many of the copycat Auntie Anne's soft pretzel recipes passed around the Web require bread flour, and some use honey as a sweetener. But by studying the Auntie Anne's home pretzel-making kit in the secret underground laboratory, I've discovered a better solution for re-creating the delicious mall treats than any clone recipe out there. For the best quality dough, you just need all-purpose flour. And powdered sugar works great to perfectly sweeten the dough. Now you just have to decide if you want to make the more traditional salted pretzels, or the sweet cinnamon sugar-coated kind. Decisions, decisions. Find more of my copycat recipes for famous muffins, bagels, and rolls here.  Source: Even More Top Secret Recipes by Todd Wilbur.
