Soft Jumbo Pretzel Sticks (Super Easy) image

Many chain restaurants have now added soft pretzel bread sticks to their menus with various sauces. They won't tell you this, but many restaurants use their white bread dough and not a special "secret recipe". The difference lies in what you do with the dough. The yummy flavor and texture is the result of a quick, 15 second bath...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 4

12 frozen dinner rolls, thawed but cold
2/3 cup baking soda
1 egg
course salt

Steps:

  • 1. Roll each piece of dough into a 5" rope. Place on a large prepared baking sheet. Cover with saran wrap sprayed with non-stick spray, place in a warm spot and let rise for about an hour.
  • 2. Place 2 quarts of water in a large saucepan. Add baking soda and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low. Gently place each stick in the soda water and simmer gently for 15 seconds per side.
  • 3. Drain on a wire rack and return to prepared baking sheet. (I use parchment paper.) Score lightly every inch or so, if desired. Combine egg with 1 TB. water to make an egg wash. Brush each with egg wash and sprinkle with course salt.
  • 4. Bake at 375 degrees for 5-10 minutes until golden brown.
  • 5. SERVING SUGGESTIONS: I like mine with honey mustard or yellow mustard, but a melty cheese sauce is also delicious. On game day, I serve with my Wisconsin Beer Dip. (Recipe in comments section.) Also excellent served with Cheddar Potato Soup.

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup warm water
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup oil
3 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon yeast
6 cups water
3 tablespoons baking soda
1 egg white
1 tablespoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Mix together brown sugar, salt, and yeast in big bowl.
  • Mix together oil and water and add this to the sugar and yeast mix.
  • Add the flour and mix to a nice doughy (not sticky) consistency. Knead with mixer a few minutes.
  • Divide dough into 12 balls and shape into rolls (I like long oval shapes) and let rise on greased foil cover sheet for 20-30 minute until nice and puffy. (I raise mine in a warmed oven--preheat to lowest setting then turn OFF, THEN put in the dough to rise).
  • Meanwhile, bring water and baking soda to a SIMMER in a wide pan with straight sides and preheat oven to 375.
  • Place 4 rolls in the water and simmer 1 minute then flip and simmer 1 minute more.
  • Drain and place on cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining rolls.
  • Brush rolls with egg white and sprinkle generously with kosher salt. Slash decoratively with a SHARP blade.
  • Bake until 'pretzel' brown, about 12-15 minutes.
  • Enjoy!
