    Re: WFO Pretzels

    George,

    Here's the recipe I use. This is a scan of a Xerox of a Xerox... Source unknown. It's been in my recipe file for at least 20 yrs. Let me know if you need a higher resolution scan.

    The very last line of the recipe is the key to maximum enjoyment

      Thanks Ken,
      1 tsp is a lot less than 2 TBS.

        I especially love that last line. You're right, Ken, it makes the whole recipe.

        BTW, GJ, I use about two T to a gallon of water. I can't imagine that you'd ever be able to dissolve 2 T in a cup of water, even in a pressure cooker.

          Thanks John,
          After the third try, I knew the recipe was wrong. Probably just a typo. The pretzels are still good though. I have a pretty decent background in chemistry. Heat and pressure increase the ability to dissolve compounds in a solution. You can't get H2O hotter than 212 degrees without pressure or salt, etc. There was no way that 2 TBS was going to dissolve in the half or so cup of water. Funny, now that I look back at my trying over and over again to make it happen.

            Chuckster,

            You are correct, the recipe came from Crust.

              Does anyone have a copy of the recipe for the pretzels that you are talking about from Crust? I looks like the book is non published now.
              Thanks Rob

                I will scan it in Monday when I get back to work. Can I post it on here as a pdf?? Or should I make it a jpg and post it as an image?

                        Here's the pretzel recipe from CRUST as jpgs. Its on two pages 106 & 73. I can't remember making the "fermented dough" first, but I guess I did - its been a while
