Pretzel Sandwich Buns image

"Soft pretzels are always a favorite. We've discovered that their distinctive texture and flavor also complements many varieties of sandwich fillings. In particular, we like these buns with a generous scoop of maple-mustard chicken salad." From King Arthur. Total time is about 2 hrs.

Time 47m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 3/4 cups warm water
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 teaspoon salt
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup nonfat dry milk powder
2 teaspoons instant yeast
coarse sea salt
2 quarts water
1 tablespoon salt
1/4 cup baking soda

Steps:

  • Mix and knead the dough ingredients - by hand, mixer, or bread machine - to make a smooth, slightly sticky dough.
  • Allow the dough to rise in a lightly greased bowl, covered, for about 1 hour, until doubled. Gently deflate the dough, and transfer it to a lightly greased work surface.
  • Divide the dough into 10 pieces and shape each piece into a smooth ball. Place the balls on a lightly greased baking sheet, cover, and let rest for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Prepare the water bath: Bring the water, salt, and baking soda to a boil in a large pot.
  • Drop 5 dough balls at a time into the water bath.
  • Cook for 30 seconds, flip over, and cook for 30 seconds longer. Using a slotted spoon, return the buns to the baking sheet.
  • Using scissors or a sharp knife, cut 1/2"-deep crosses into the center of each bun. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
  • Bake the buns for 20 to 24 minutes, or until they're a deep-dark brown. Remove them from the oven, and transfer to a rack to cool.
