How to Make Fastenwhe Carnival Caraway Seed Pretzel Of Basel
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm milk, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour.
- Add 1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast. Mix well and let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Gradually add the remaining 2 1/2 cups of flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Knead until a soft, smooth dough forms (about 5-7 minutes).
- Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 15cm long oval.
- Gently flatten each oval and make 4, 5cm long cuts opposite each other.
- Gently twist and shape the pretzels. Place them on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
- Whisk together 1 egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of water. Brush the mixture over the pretzels.
- Sprinkle generously with caraway seeds.
- Cover the baking sheets and let the pretzels rise in a warm place (or cold oven) for about 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Place a heatproof bowl filled with hot water in the bottom of the oven to create steam. This helps with browning.
- Bake one tray of pretzels for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining tray.
- Let the pretzels cool completely on a wire rack before serving and enjoying!
