Baseball Playoffs, Oktoberfest: SOFT PRETZEL Recipe

[Yepprd]

Mr Dunderbak's had soft pretzels spread with gormet cheese spreads(champagne,port wine,garlic,or cheddar spreads). A cheesball at the supermarket would probably do. You could also get diced dill pickles and or pepperoni slices on top of the cheese. Very messy and very delicious!

[irisayala]

i always mess up recipes on the first attempt and these still turned out perfect! You're recipe is right on, and it really is fool proof lol

[squishyfroggie]

i made these and they are SO GOOD. everyone complimented me on them. it was my first experience with yeast and it was so fun to make. i'm only 17 so it's not a super difficult thing to make!

[bampowfwoosh]

I used this recipe and the pretzels came out perfect. :D

[buttonNZ]

Can't talk... Going to the supermarket.  you guys need anything? Nope?? ( empty desk chair swinging...)

[Hoerstyy]

its good with cheese SAWWWCE

[juanitae9]

its dipped in soap???

[sahomai]

At 0:53 and 0:54 when the person's hand opened the sugar jar and when the lid hit the jar right behind it :DDDDDD!

[biodomesan]

your recipe sucks!

[gabstaa17]

Can you just oil the pan? Or just use foil??

[briggybear]

Great show but they need to change the title to Upper Middle Class Foodies. High Def cameras, gruyere, usage of the word foodies.

[wilcox2146]

BULL CRAP i tried this but the parchment almost caught on fire !?!?  im still hungry :(

[briggybear]

@wilcox2146 Paper ignites at roughly 450 fahrenheit just like Ray Bradbury says.

[briggybear]

@wilcox2146 Though I'm sure parchment is treated to withstand this. Maybe you used inferior parchment paper. But then again what do you mean almost caught on fire? Sounds like it didn't. So what is the problem?

[abaytk]

great recipe as seen by the number of favorables - and for the ones that dislike - who doesn't like this recipe???

[pliedas]

Hey, loved your video and the dog too.

[MajesticShells]

Yum!

[IIIFERYIII]

Brezel with Mustard ? You guys are the epitome of being pervert. :D

[TimothyAaronPotts]

Cute Dog. I want a Basset Hound!

[XxXENHXxX]

@TimothyAaronPotts i had a basset hound but it passed away.

[MYHOLLANDGIRL]

Can you use a stainless steel pot for dipping pretzels in the water/baking soda bath? Or does it ruin your stainless steel pot, like lye ruins aluminum, for some reason? Thanks :)

[wcfoodies]

@MYHOLLANDGIRL Interesting question! I don't know the answer, so I'd recommend sticking with enameled cast iron if you can find it.

[Taze007]

I'm just a dumb guy who loves mall pretzels...

The internet has been nice to me...showing me how to make all my favorites...

And this must be the most satisfying yet.

These pretzels go above and beyond duty!!!

I love em.....

Especially right after taking a massive bong rip....Just take your pretzel...dip it in your fav sauce...and wash down with cold Bev!

No Brainer!!!

[JPZ16974]

ITS A PRETZEL :D

[2221971]

I made these & they were awesome as she said.  Well done. Thanks.

[12quillemall5321]

Just made your recipe for the Oscar party. I am making some with sea salt, parmesan cheese and sesame seeds. Some we added cinnamon sugar and raisins and we will ice them with store brought icing.

[strawberryblonde35]

this looks so good. im gonna have to make it sometime

[TheBarefoot4life]

This looks really good , I will be trying it my bread machine ..

[ToshiyaMaze]

In german it is called "Bretzeln" with B not with P! Greetings, Laura from Erfurt (Germany). I am so excited about the next episode!

[CaLoKi91]

@ToshiyaMaze Actually it is even "Brezel" without a T :) (Also from Germany).

[realica87]

well, people from Bavaria, the place where there were apparently invented, would definitely not agree with that...there they call it Breze or Brezn

[CaLoKi91]

@realica87 according to legend they were invented in Bad Urach, which is located at the foot of the swabian alps

[mikedrazen]

im making pretzle burgers

[K22productions]

what is this song please.

[hollybee43]

Eh... there are MUCH easier pretzel recipes i've tried. look into recipes that use the no-fail yeast method

[MrUpgraydde]

I keep coming back to this episode... for sure one of WCF's greatest hits!

[girl121carolyn]

alton Brown!! <3

[K22productions]

my sis lives in harrissburg PA, The Fav down there is a ham sandwich on a pretzel roll and when i spent a weekend down there last summer i couldnt get enough so when i came back up to buffalo i used this recipe to make some....thanks so much for the recipe

[farhmoha]

THat looks pretty good

[whitebabyflamingo]

omg these were amaing, i couldn't make them fast enough

great for parties

[FinsternisSan]

would the baking soda trick work for bagels? Looks like i'd have to try it.

[badjujuwan]

If you want to make smaller portions, maybe like a 4 serving recipe, do you divide the yeast/water mixture by 1/4 or do you still use the same amount of yeast?

Thank you!

[11moii]

They sell these EVERYWHERE in Berlin... They also had them with pumpkin seeds on 'em... they were SOoooo GOOD!

[Sereneblaze]

very nice, like also that you watch Alton Brown on Good Eats =D

[dreamangel6368]

i tried the recipe..everyone loved it =D

[hoboxjohn]

FUCK YEAH! GO WFC! GO GIANTS! NORCAL

[AClumsySheep]

more wcf!

[joydubyadee]

Pretzels look yummy. Thanks for posting the foods cured with lye O.O

[00lilili]

is it necessary to boil the pretzel in the baking powder and water mixture??

[VampireNya]

@00lilili No I would think not. A while back I did the same thing without it, and they were great

[00lilili]

@VampireNya THANK YOU!!! :)

[MercSLRFan]

Fantastic.

[masque22]

I tried this recipe and it worked out really well.

[jonmiz]

You should bleach that dutch oven, works wonders on stains.

[ixkey]

Yum all up! Awesome!

[swirlypop123]

what do you do if you want to make them sweet? would i just sprinkle brown sugar/cinnamon rather than the salt?

[wcfoodies]

@swirlypop123 I'd mix some cinnamon and sugar into the dough - maybe some cocoa powder, too, for a hint of chocolate. Then yes, sprinkle the top with a sugar/cinnamon mix or give them a maple glaze (maple syrup + powdered sugar + a little water) right when they come out of the oven.

[MrUpgraydde]

Just made a batch with some Rosemary from my garden, taking them to the UCF tailgate in an hour. Serving them along side a bacon wrapped beef tenderloin roast. Thanks for the recipe!

[kord6890]

@MrUpgraydde haha I go to UCF! Watch out, the tailgating is already crazy and parking is a mess.

[wcfoodies]

@kord6890 @mrupgraydde Fun fact: WCFoodies' Max went to UCF! He graduated last year.

[kord6890]

@wcfoodies talk about knight nation! :) he should do a black and gold foods episode since tailgaiting traditions are still new at UCF!

[wcfoodies]

@kord6890 haha, good idea! i'll pass it along to him.

[MrUpgraydde]

@wcfoodies FYI, the rosemary was a hit. We reheated them on the grill and it gave them a killer crust! 

[wcfoodies]

@MrUpgraydde Awesome! Love the idea of finishing on the grill. Sounds delicious.

[missiworld]

When I was in Germany, I got to visit the behind the scenes of a bakery, and they taught me how to make pretzels. The only difference between these two recipes is that, when they have the piece of dough for the pretzel, it is rolled and stretched until it is an 18 inch tube of dough that is very skinny at the ends and thick in the middle. Then, when it's folded together, the bottom is large and doughy, while the cross-overs are crunchy. They also cut a little slit in the fat part of it. :)

[wcfoodies]

@missiworld Thanks for the info! Glad to know we came close to the German method...always fun :)

[missiworld]

Ah man, Oktoberfest was awesome this year. ;)

[Hieuie118]

how would i store these?

my brother and i would be the only ones eating them....and by my brother and i, i mean i will be the only one eating them.

should i freeze them then pop them into the oven?

herp plz

[wcfoodies]

@Hieuie118 For short-term storage (1-3 days), any tupperware will do. Just reheat them in a toaster oven, oven, or microwave. For long-term storage, bag them and then seal them in a tupperware to keep out frost, then freeze and reheat the same way. Enjoy!

[MissLilala]

It's called Brezel

[wcfoodies]

@leyway @tiffbott41 @nls8520 Good point! However, the salt did not prevent the yeast from proofing, but you're definitely right - the salt should be added to the flour instead of the water.

[yasharox]

Flour a clean work surface...

[SentoukiEX]

@yasharox lol i didn't know what your comment ment until 2:01 hahahah

[aglanceatmyworld]

I've missed working class foodies!

[greyskirt]

smells german...lol XD

[MrJingjong]

omg, less than a quarter per pretzel? The ballpark is making a killing. Great recipe btw.

[nozdoz160]

Yum THANK YOU!!

[leyway]

let me just say u never mix salt and yeast together becoz salt inhibits yeast.. so i would mix the salt with the flour.

[tiffbott41]

@leyway i thought that to when she mixed it up! Odd!

[nls8520]

@leyway exactly!

[GwynethC10]

does max even exist?

[kit1232]

@GwynethC10 no. He joined the circus and disappeared. If you see him tell him I want my shirt back.

[branjobu96]

The pretzel dough looks like a Pizza dough.....

Can we make pizza with it?

Thank you for answering! :)

[peacenm]

thats a very good recipe :) but next time you have to drink light beer or wheat beer ;)

[wcfoodies]

@peacenm You are very right. Unfortunately all I had in the fridge was a porter left over from a sixpack someone brought over last winter. ...Yum?

[literallyblue]

FINALLY a full episode of WCF. Thanks Rebecca. I miss Max though.

[coughforme21]

She should've given her cute dog a couple.

[kristeen2]

i just have to say...you guy sare life savers! i'm a student from melbourne australia and without you i would have died of starvation! You've taught me love to cooking and eating!

thank you working class foodies!

[wcfoodies]

@kristeen2 <3 you're very welcome!

[guymauve100]

Im gonna make these tommoroe

[Hornbukle]

i freakin love this show and im estatic to see you guys again. love the recpes and keep them coming. one ? though. do you know any rabbit recipes, or is it hard to find afordable rabbit in NY?

[kit1232]

@Hornbukle check out james oliver's essex rabbit recipe. You can get decent priced rabbit at Fairway and there is a vendor at the union sq green market.

[wcfoodies]

@Hornbukle Ooh, rabbit. An affordable rabbit dish...that's a challenge I think I'm willing to accept, or at least look into. Like @kit1232 said, if you're in NYC and looking for rabbit, try Fairway or the Greenmarket - can't promise it'll be cheap but it'll be good. Jamie Oliver, April Bloomfield, and Fergus Henderson all have awesome rabbit recipes. Let us know if you give one a shot!

[Hornbukle]

@wcfoodies im in CA. but ill let u know how it goes.

[NekoCylestia]

First that's the cutest dog ever! Wow, those are really straight forward, I gotta try them!

[HopefullyShrinking]

Yum! My hubby would love this with that cheese-jalapeno mix. Definitely will be trying this out.

[questionsmyfuture23]

mmmmmm...that looks soo freaking good!! I can't wait to try this recipe..I love pretzels!!!! especially when they are covered in cinnamon and sugar!!

[branjobu96]

@questionsmyfuture23 Ohh man stop it please!... It;s like 3am here! xD

O_O

[Silverstarlightt]

Yay! An actual recipe this time!<3

You guys rock o:

[Lariiperson]

This sounds good but is there something I can use to subsitute the egg yoke?

[enburst]

@Lariiperson it is baking not cooking...so i highly doubt it

[viceb7]

@Lariiperson There's a lot of vegan alternatives for eggs, my favorite for baking is Ener-g egg replacer, but I'm not sure if it would change this recipe at all...

[JonDAzn]

this is awesome!!! do you have a recipe list?

[pandasarehot924]

You guys should do something for vegetarians, please. :)

[TheMichael408]
