Pretzels... I would have never thought so soft and delicious if they weren't introduced to me by Anthony, my brother in-law. I had never ever even thought about eating one because I let the appearance fooled me... they are just too raw and rustic to my taste. One time we were shopping at the Yorkdale and Anthony bought a pretzel for a snack. I told him I have been living here for 20 years but I never tried pretzels. He suggested me to take a bite. So I did... You know, you don't find real surprises these days but that bite really gave me an impression. I admit, there is nothing fancy about pretzels; after all, there are so many other choices to choose from... but pretzels are timeless, at least in my book.
I baked these pretzels this morning. I like them with salt so I sprinkled some fleur de sel on top... plain and simple.
Wow, these look good! How do they taste compare to bagels?
ReplyDeleteThanks... I ate one pretzel when it's fresh out of the oven. It's very soft and its texture is just like bread. I think the pretzels are less solid, less dense compared to bagels. Making pretzels is a lot of fun... I highly recommend it.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try! Maybe next week after my deadline at work.
ReplyDeleteThose look perfect & sooo appetizing!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
ReplyDeleteI used the same recipe to make bagels and they taste great! Instead of boiling them in baking soda water, I made caramel with 2 tablespoons of sugar and added about 4 cups of boiling water. I love this recipe! Thanks for the introduction!
