Description
Delightful fusion of salty, spicy, and buttery flavors in a warm pretzel, perfect for gatherings and celebrations.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1 ½ cups warm water (not too hot)
- 2 tsp salt
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- ½ cup buffalo sauce
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp baking soda (for boiling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes until bubbly.
- Mix Ingredients: Stir in flour and salt until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for around 5 minutes until smooth.
- Let It Rise: Place your dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and allow it to rise in a warm spot for about an hour or until it doubles in size.
- Shape the Pretzels: Punch the dough down and divide it into small pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope, then twist into the classic pretzel shape.
- Boil and Bake: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add baking soda, and immerse each pretzel in the boiling water for about 30 seconds.
- Add Flavor: After boiling, place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with melted butter. Sprinkle generously with garlic powder and sea salt.
- Buffalo Sauce: After baking for 12-15 minutes until golden brown, toss the pretzels in warmed buffalo sauce until coated.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pair with ranch or blue cheese dressing, and indulge!
Notes
For an extra kick, add chopped fresh herbs like chives or parsley into the dough.
