Pretzel bread

[ally79]

Is anyone else here a fan of pretzel bread? I love a turkey and cheese sandwich on some nice fresh pretzel bread. Here is the recipe that I have been using to make it.


Dough:
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 envelope Fleischmann's® RapidRise
Yeast
2 teaspoons salt
3 cups all-purpose flour, or more as
needed


Boiling Solution:
3 quarts water
3/4 cup baking soda

Egg Wash:
1 egg
1 teaspoon water
Directions:
1. Heat milk and butter until warm (100 degrees to 110 degrees F); the butter will not completely melt. Combine with undissolved yeast and brown sugar in a large mixer bowl. Stir in salt and 2 cups flour, beat for 3 minutes. Gradually add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, cover and let rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
3. Combine boiling solution and bring to a boil. Punch dough down and divide into 2 equal pieces. Form each piece into a tight, smooth ball. Boil each loaf in the solution for 2 minutes, turning after 1 minute. Remove loaves from pot using a slotted spoon and place on a greased baking sheet.
4. Brush with egg wash and cut a cross in the top. Bake for 15 minutes then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F and bake an additional 10 to 12 minutes until the loaves are evenly browned. Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.

I would love to try this recipe. So many restaurants are offering pretzle bread , alot of it is just plain wrong. I have had bread that seems like nothhing mot than a brown salted bagel, other pretzel rolls taste nothing like a pretzel at all. I would be nice to be able to bake my own because buying them can be hit or miss.

I'll have to give this recipe a shot sometime....my boys (and myself, too, on occasion) love pretzel sandwiches and pretzel dogs. Sounds like a pretty good recipe for it =).

Thanks for sharing this recipe! I have never made pretzel bread before. I have had it several times, because I like to order my sandwiches on pretzel bread when I go out to eat. I love it! It is so yummy! I think it tastes delicious! I am very excited to try making my own! The recipe doesn't look too complex. Hopefully I can make it turn out!
Pretzel bread is awesome for sandwiches, but it is also good to just eat on its own dipped in mustard or cheddar cheese sauce.

This is a simple pretzel bread recipe. I make pretzel bread a lot.This bread is savory and chewy. I prepare my sandwiches with pretzel bread. I eat chips or soup on the side.

I have never had a pretzel dog before! I will have to give that a try too. I'll bet a pretzel dog with some good mustard will be delicious!
