Home-style Pretzel Sticks
The perfect home-style pretzel sticks recipe with a picture and simple step-by-step instructions.
- 1 kg Flour smooth
- 0,5 kg Flour handy
- 6 dag Germ in German yeast
- 1 packet Dry germ
- 400 g Margarine or butter
- 0,625 liter Milk
- 4 Pc. Eggs
- 3 tbsp Oil
- 1 tbsp Granulated sugar
- Fine or / and coarse salt
- Ground caraway or whole
- Mix smooth and non-slip flour in a larger container (mixing bowl).
- Approx. 1/8 Li. Heat a little milk with sugar and add yeast (yeast) and stir until nothing lumps. (If you like, you can add up to 200 grams of sour space at this step for a very special taste).
- Make a small pit in the bowl with the flour. Pour the melted lukewarm mixture into the flour. Cover only a little with flour and stir briefly and lightly with a spoon so that the pit is still visible but is slightly mixed with the flour. Let the mixture rise for about 15 minutes. Should then be visibly enlarged (if you only use dry yeast, it can take a little longer until the mass rises)
- In the meantime, warm up the rest of the milk. Add 2 teaspoons of salt, oil (you can do without it if you like) and margarine until everything is dissolved. Separate 2 eggs and add the yolk with the milk mixture to the (hopefully noticeably risen) flour-yeast-milk mixture. Now add the dry germ.
- From now on you have to knead the dough for about 15 minutes. It is best done by hand, of course, but it takes a lot of time and effort. Otherwise, put it in the food processor until all of the dough comes off the edges of the bowl. If necessary (if it does not begin to loosen), a little flour can be used in several small portions. Then cover and rest again in a NOT cold place for approx. 15-25 minutes.
- The now noticeably enlarged dough (1 1/2 to 2 times) in 30 days. Divide servings (should be around 10 parts) and then process one at a time. Roll out each dough to approx. Pizza size and shape. Now, depending on the size you want, cut the dough into cake-like pieces (I like them a little smaller, so 12 pieces per portion). Roll up the triangles that have now been created, starting on the outside with light pressure downwards and to the side. My pretzel sticks then have a DM of approx. 1-3 cm and a length of approx. 10-15 cm.
- Preheat the baking tube to 200 °. Place the pretzel sticks on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Now mix a whole egg and a yolk and brush the pretzel sticks with them so that the following spices (salt and caraway seeds) stick better.
- If you like it hearty, you can, for example, roll some spicy bacon into the pretzel sticks. I like to put a little cheese on the seasoned pretzel sticks and then let them bake until golden (15-20 min). For me, the amount is usually enough for about 100-120 small pretzel sticks. Good succeed! Enjoy the meal
