How to Make Soft Pretzels For Bread Machines
- Place ingredients in bread machine pan in the order recommended by your manufacturer's instructions.
- Select the dough cycle or equivalent setting on your bread machine. Press start.
- Once the machine completes the second rise (check your machine's manual; it usually beeps), carefully remove the dough.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
- Divide each portion into 3 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece into an 18-inch rope.
- Shape each rope into a pretzel: form a circle, overlapping the ends by about 4 inches.
- Twist the overlapping ends together tightly.
- Carefully tuck the ends under the circle to create the pretzel shape. Gently press to seal.
- Place pretzels on a greased baking sheet.
- Let rise, uncovered, until puffy, about 20 minutes.
- In a 3-quart saucepan, bring 2 quarts of water and 1/3 cup baking soda to a rolling boil.
- Carefully lower 1-2 pretzels into the boiling water. Simmer for 10 seconds per side.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and place back on the prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat with remaining pretzels.
- Let pretzels dry briefly (about 5 minutes).
- Brush with 1 lightly beaten egg white.
- Sprinkle with coarse salt, sesame seeds, or leave plain.
- If leaving plain, after baking, dip in melted butter, then in a cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 4 minutes.
- Rotate the baking sheet and bake for an additional 4 minutes, or until golden brown.
