Do you fancy trying something completely different to bake? We have tried a fluffy and delicious New Year's pretzel for you.
You will need the following ingredients:
- 1/2 cube of fresh yeast
- 340g milk 3.5%
- 100g sugar
- 600g wheat flour type 550
- 1 pinch of salt
- 100g soft butter
- 2 large teaspoons vanilla sugar
- 1 egg to coat
- caster sugar for sprinkling
Preparation in the TM:
1. Put the milk, yeast, sugar and 1 tablespoon of flour into the mixing bowl for 2 minutes at 37 degrees on dough setting 2.
2. Then leave the dough to rest for 15 minutes.
3. Add the remaining ingredients - except the egg and caster sugar - for 5 minutes on the dough setting.
4. Cover the dough in a bowl and leave to rise for 45 minutes.
5. Then divide the dough into 3 equal pieces and roll these into 1 meter long strands, braid and shape into a large pretzel.
6. Cover the pretzel and leave to rest on a greased stone slab or on a baking tray lined with baking paper for a further 30 minutes.
7. Finally, brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle with loaf sugar.
8. Bake in a preheated oven at 190 degrees top/bottom heat for 25 minutes.
The pretzel was supposed to cool before eating, but unfortunately we didn't get around to it because it looked and smelled so delicious.
We hope you enjoy baking them again!
