[1964Yojimbo]

I'm not going to even begin at how many things here that are wrong.I worked in a soft pretzel bakery for years and why aren't the pretzels here twisted?I can't tell you the simple recipe for them because I have signed a contract that legally forbids me to.

[elisasmama]

Made these yesterday. It didn't matter how much I sprayed the parchment, they stuck and wouldn't come off. Had to toss them all. :(

[pepsi42327]

[alrmithi86]

[Nhordmyr]

And for the ultimate "Pretzel" experience - call it "Bretzel" - thats original :P

[AliceTbari]

Hy! 1 cup how many milliliters? Today I would like to make it! I love this recipe!

[901crunchy]

I made it with half recipe and 5-7gr of instant yeast, it turns out delicious :)

[HeyItsEmily54]

microwave chocolate cake please

[cookiesNcream4cathyX]

isnt baking soda the same thing as baking powder?

[Galka007]

@cookiesNcream4cathyX No, they're different, very different.

[HeyItsEmily54]

@cookiesNcream4cathyX no.

[simplyxme23]

@cookiesNcream4cathyX They both are leavening agents to help dough rise but both have different tastes. Baking powder is a mixture of Baking Soda and Cream of Tarter. You may substitute baking powder for baking soda but it will affect the taste and you will need more, but you cannot substitute baking soda for baking powder.

[XfaCTor94]

pretzels pretzels pretzels pretzels......*sigh* PRETZELS!!!!!!!!!! :P

[caty125125]

[Bora2135]

No point in using kosher salt but not use kosher flour or serve food on kosher plates. =_=

[weshasawi]

[youlwoe]

Ohh flipp

I MIXED 7 TABLESPOONS OF SUGAR WITH 1 TABLESPOON OF CINNAMON.

DIPPED THE PRETZELS IN MELTED BUTTER THEN IN THE CINNAMON SUGAR.

[xoCarlyMarieox]

What About Nacho Cheese To Go With It? Can You Make One For That

[gardini100]

why always khoser salt and not normal sea salt ?is it not just natrium ?

[AngelLuvsU2]

@gardini100 Kosher salt is a little bit more pure and less salty to me.

[poptarhead]

can you use butter instead of egg wash?

[ibuayah]

does anyone noe how many grams of yeast is in that packet..?

[soccergirlbobo]

PLEASE MAKE FUNNEL CAKES!!!!!

[tennistumblerluver23]

[XCutePupa]

The coocking process makes me think of bagels

[StarleePie47]

Oh, yay. I've been looking for a pretzel recipe. Thank you.

[ali3n898]

Very nice instruction and great personality! Keep the videos coming!:)

[MythilyE]

You are the best cooking teacher I have ever seen ... I love your recipes and your videos a lot ... sooo good :) Keep Cooking Laura !

[EvanC0912]

I prefer chewy pretzels.

[KarlaUnoDosTres]

Laura, I've made these pretzels, and they are delicious (and easy)! How do you store the leftovers and what do you do to reheat them? I put them in a ziploc bag on the counter, and they just didn't have the same texture as when they came out of the oven.

[astroboirap]

what a bloody annoying voice :s

[seisei19]

make a really big one like what i saw in germany! :D like 1 foot

[GRIZZ258]

FOOD WISHES>LAURA

[Littlebabyunicorn01]

LAURA VITALE SUCKS. Okay, this is how I get your attention. You look so good, your food also looks good, and you speak so well for an Itatian! You really should open a bakery! And change the name of this show 'Laura In The Bakery'...

[PeaceSalaam]

Why did u boil them in water? Why not just bake them?

[dansan]

I tried these but I don't like them! I actually can't even smell them! I thought they would be so yummy but apparently I don't like them :( They taste like burnt plastic or something, it's really awful :( but cheers to everyone who like them! Could it be because of the baking soda? 'Cause they are kinda edible to me if I cut the bottom of the pretzel. And I've made both, salty and sugary and I really don't like both.

[EvelynGB]

@dansan Might have used to much baking soda. you can also just bake them, won't have the same consistency but it really is just a bread recipe.

[dansan]

@EvelynGB Well, I have to confess I double checked the recipe 'cause I thought 1/2 cup of baking soda was too much, but it was the correct measure. The last ones I didn't put in the water and just baked them but they were anything but soft :P I saw a recipe for soft pretzels where the pretzels were only "dipped" in water with only 2 tbsp of baking soda. But I'm not sure I want to try it again. I guess I have to admit I just don't fancy soft pretzels that way :) Thank you!

[EvelynGB]

@dansan Ahaha, Ya! they might be hard come to think of it. I normally cover my bread up after with towels to trap the steam because I don't like it hard. My brother told me he never uses baking soda. And the recipe he gave me they were in the water for 1 min each side. I love soft pretzels but I prefer them without baking soda I think! Thanks dansan!

[dansan]

@EvelynGB Now you've made me want to try this again :D Maybe I'll just do it like the recipe your brother gave you. But please, could you tell me if the water is boiling or if it is normal water? :) I would appreciate it 'cause I really think my proble with soft pretzels is connected to the baking soda. I remember I had tasted something like that before and it was a batch of chocolate cupcakes I've made that also had baking soda and I had to throw them in the garbage :( Same taste!

[EvelynGB]

@dansan I will probably try it again tonight without the soda, My husband gobbled up last nights batch! The water is boiling. I was a bit confused with the amount of flour in this recipe. Normally you can put just over double the flour to water right? I was only able to get 3.5c flour in. I think I will try boiling them on each side longer too. Might turn out tasting more like bagels! :D My bother said the recipe he uses is strothottedotcom with the recipe link in the side bar w/o soda though.

[dansan]

@EvelynGB Let me know how those came out! I didn't have any problems with the flour, but rolling the dough was a pain! :P It kept flattening against the table and I couldn't roll it! I'll check out that recipe your brother mentioned. I was actually affraid that boiling them longer would mush the dough... But let me know how your pretzels come out :) Next I will try bagels, for sure! I love trying everything I can't get in my country :D

[EvelynGB]

@dansan So I tried them again last night without the baking soda and it worked fine. I also tried flipping some in the water but they didn't really brown on top in the oven. The ones that I didn't flip browned nicely and turned out better.

I was thinking of your rolling problem, Maybe the dough was too dry?

[dansan]

@EvelynGB Hmm! Ok, now I will definitely give those another try. You know I just remembered that when I was baking them I told my sister I thought I'd killed all the yeast 'cause I had the impression that the water was still too hot. Maybe that's why the dough ended up a bit tough. And another question: the pretzels Laura bakes are white inside and mine were yeallow... like really yellow :P

[EvelynGB]

@dansan AHahah, I know about the yellow and that confused me too! The 1st time I made them they were more yellow then the second. I have no idea really how that happened? Probably the dough was tough because of the amount of flour, that is my guess anyway. The amount of flour seemed a lot for only 1.5 cups of water.

[dansan]

@EvelynGB I really must give these another try... and I hope they come out better because this is really no time to waste ingredients in my house :P When I bake them I'll let you know... but it will probably take a while to recover from the first attempt XD Thanks for everything! :D

[dansan]

@EvelynGB I just checked the recipe and it has baking soda but only 5 tsp. In the meanwhile I noticed that there is something underlined in the recipe which is the importance of using a non-aluminum roastpan to boil the pretzels and I used a aluminum one! Could it have happened some sort of chemical reaction with the aluminum and baking soda? I know it is not impossible! o_o

[rygy82]

And I have the attention span of a poodle! Laura you crack me up!!!

[Adidas12391]

@rygy82

haha i didnt know that easyable waz a word:) haha laura ur funny:)

[rygy82]

@Adidas12391 LOL that's funny I didn't even catch that the first time I watched! She's too cute!

[SirKyanite]

Look better than the ones I find at the mall..

[leftyqwerty123]

milf



[dansan]

@leftyqwerty123 she's only 25 and doesn't even have kids XD

[TheMarshmallowx3]

Ill try this tomorrow

[Emux33]

What if I don't have a roasting pan?

[EvelynGB]

@Emux33 Use an ordinary pan.

[Asianl2emix]

if you want the dough to rise faster incase you don't have time, you can put the bowl of dough into another bowl that has warm to hot water. Not in really hot water but just really warm. It speeds up the processes. helped me out a lot of times.

[EvelynGB]

@Asianl2emix good tip!

[dansan]

@Asianl2emix With all the cold in my country right now, I usually turn on the heater in my bedroom and I put the dough there to rise :P

[ReiAsaka]

Are you Italian?

[dansan]

@ReiAsaka Yes she is! ^__^

[myraabc123]

I love how professional your videos are!

[navya0108]

i am SO making this O.O

[cheddarpretzels]

@navya0108 Unsalted.  Whenever you are cooking or reading a recipe, it almost always (99.99%) unsalted. Rarely you will even find one recipe that specifies to use salted. So always assume unsalted!

[navya0108]

@cheddarpretzels thank you :D

[AniVaroni]

I just tried the recipe the flavor of the dough was good and really soft. HOWEVER the bottom and outside of the pretzel was extremely bitter. Any idea what would cause that? I left them in boiling baking soda for 30 seconds like said and did the egg wash. Exactly like in the written recipe on the website.

[dansan]

@AniVaroni Exactly like mine! It has to do with the baking soda. I can't really eat the pretzels with that taste :S It's almost like eating burnt plastic :/ Try a little less baking soda or no soda at all. I'm going to try that next time 'cause someone already helped me with that matter too :)

[summergirl180]

i have a question, usually kneading dough too long will produce hard, tough bread. how come kneading it extra long this time produced super soft dough?

[dansan]

@summergirl180 Come to think of this, my pretzels weren't that soft :/

[hasdou100]

Laura Laura! you did it again. I tried this today they came out perfect. I don't have a stand mixer. I used a wooden and spoon and my hands. Thank you, thank you thank you I don't know what else to say. Perfect recipe!..xoxo

[MsCrimzen]

so are these like the ones you get in stores that are covered in garlic oil and parmesan cheese?

[angusMCjamison]

love it :D. totally making these on my next kitchen foray :) and i love that tomato saucer, so cute

[hootypatootie]

Gimme that pretzel!

[iloveyouu435]

your eyebrows are uneven

[astroboirap]

@iloveyouu435 lmao i just noticed. she does say at the end of the video "i have the attention span of a poodle" so perhaps thats why

[locachica1218]

YOU'RE AWESOME!!! can u use instant yeast? i have both but just wondering :)

[mahalae]

I tried this recipe. And it didn't turn out that well. I'll try again next time. :)

[dansan]

@mahalae I guess that happened to me too :/

[AnDrEaoBiEtAlovesyou]

Hi Laura. i was wondering if there was any replacement for yeast?

[conday1990]

shes missing the mustard.

[Willisbusiness1]

how much water?

[maryjacey]

This is exactly how to make bagels too. Instead of shaping them into pretzels, just shapes them into circles. Before you boil them in plain water for 1 min each side, just let it rise for another 20 minutes. Rub bagels with water, sprinkle with poppyseeds etc, and then bake in oven for 12 minutes and voila! Delicious bagels

[dansan]

@maryjacey Nice! But do we boil them too?

[dipadiyap]

Hi laura i like when u say Tannnn....Tanaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaa................

[prinzesal]

love your recipes!

[aphelionravi]

How to store them and how long can they be stored?

[oishiininja]

Pout face activated o-o How dare you Lose your train of thought while eating T-T

I want to try this so bad, But Just to ask

CAN I Use flour that has whole wheat in it? That's really all I have that may be different : o

[thedonutprincess]

@pepper7679 she cant always tell every foreign measurments, its called GOOGLE! do you have that in australia. There are alot of american viewers if she did foreign measurments we'd be confused! ( btw shes italian)

[jfsfrnd]

Nice, the bath will make them chewy like bagels. Yum.

[quickdrawMMX]

....conversating.

[bwoodsfinest]

@quickdrawMMX lol you caught that to huh?

[briannwo1900]

Sesame seeds are also great on the pretzel. They come out nice and crunchy. Great if you dont like your pretzels plain. I also add a bunch of fresh garlic in mine. Great if you love garlic.

[briannwo1900]

Cooking just isnt that hard. Probably the most important skill a person can know. You eat 3 meals per day every day of your life. Problem with America is that our cooking skills are lacking to the point where nobody cooks at home anymore.

[TarzansMonkey109]

please do a husband tag! it would be adorable :')

[MsBasketballlover1]

[cookielover013]

[nickhasie]
