Directions :
1. Put half of measured flour in a large bowl, make a well in the center.
2. Add sugar, dried yeast, beer (if using), half of measured water. Stir the liquid in the center well.
3. Sprinkle salt over dry flour on the edges, not directly over the yeast. Stir together then add the remaining flour.
4. Use a wooden spoon stir to combined, pour the remaining water.
5. Add the room temperature butter, stir into rough sticky dough.
6. Transfer onto work table, start kneading until smooth and elastic about 10 minutes if you knead by hands.
Shape into a ball and put back in the bowl. Cover for 30 minutes or more in warm place.
7. Move use a scraper and transfer on work table again. Press and flatten by hands, roll into a log.
8. Cut into 10 equal size, about 80-90 g each pieces. Shape into balls. Cover loosely for 15 minutes.
9. Flatten the dough into oval shape, roll into a cigar about 15 cm long. Put on tray, seam side down.
10. Cover for 15 minutes at room temperature. And freezer for 15 minutes. While pretzel in the freezer, preheat the oven at 220°C.
11. Boil 1.5 liter of water in non-reactive saucepan/pot. Add 2 tbsp baking soda into the boiling water, it will fizz.
Lower the heat to low, still very hot but doesn't boil.
12. Take out pretzel sticks from freezer, boil for 30 second, make sure all surface wet by water solution. Remove with
slotted spoon. Arrange on greased baking tray ( I used parchment paper and it was slightly sticky on the bottom ).
13. Using sharp knife/blade, make a few slash on top. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
14. Bake at 220°C for 15 minutes. Baking time may vary. Until brown, soft and chewy.
Ninik's Notes :
- Pretzel will sticky on the bottom when I use parchment paper.
- Grease the baking tray without parchment paper to make less sticky.
- After boil the pretzel in baking soda solution, remove and put on clean damp towel for a minute to release the excess water, before put on tray.
- Make sure to wet all surface when boiling pretzel to get evenly beautiful brown color.
- The use of beer is optional, I tried use alcohol-free beer just for my curiosity, it was fizz when I pour into the yeast.
