Ingredients

• 1 tsp instant yeast
• 1 tbsp malt powder or brown sugar
• 2-3 cups unbleached flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup warm milk

Directions

1. Combine all dry ingredients except flour and mix

2. Add 2 cups of flour and mix

3. Add milk and mix

4. Add more flour as needed to get one doughy ball

5. Knead for 5-10 mins

6. Cut into 6 equal sized pieces

7. Roll each piece into a short log, around 1 cm in diameter

8. Turn on oven to 200C

9. Leave dough to sit for 5-10 minutes

10. Continue rolling and stretching

11. Leave dough to sit once more for 5-10 minutes

12. Continue rolling as needed to obtain a length of around 40 cm, then form into pretzel shape

13. Heat 1 cm of water in a shallow pan (e.g. frying pan)

14. When boiling, add each pretzel one by one, for around 15-20 seconds on each side, drying on a paper towel

15. Pretzels can be frozen at this stage for later consumption; only cook what you want to eat now!

16. Place pretzel on baking paper on a baking tray, and sprinkle salt or other seasonings to your liking (not too much salt otherwise these pretzels might make you thirsty)

17. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown

18. Enjoy while toasty hot!
