nicoolio asked: Hi! I lived in Munich for four years, and now that I'm back in the US, I really miss those brezin! Do you know of an authentic recipe that I could use to make them myself? American pretzels just don't cut it. Thanks!
I know. American pretzels are not the same. The German Laugenbrezel rocks ;)
For the dough you need:
500g wheat flour
2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 cube of fresh yeast (about 40g) or 1 pkg yeast
20g lard
grainy salt to sprinkle
For the Brezel - lye you need:
150ml 36% soda lye (NaOH) (you can get it at drugstores here)
1,8 liters water
BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN MIXING THE LYE PLEASE (use gloves)!
Prepare the Brezel dough by mixing all the ingredients together and then kneading it patiently for about 10-15mins. The dough must’t be sticky or too dry. Then cover it with a towel and leave it for about half an hour. Ok… now divide the dough into 15 pieces and shape the Brezeln.
Preheat the oven. 180°C = 356 °F
Now you need to dip each Brezel into the soda lye before placing them onto a baking tray. Sprinkle them with the grainy salt. Leave them on the tray for about 5-10 mins before putting them into the oven. Bake them for about 20mins.
