With salty glaze!

Easy, tasty, but involves some work.

Gives 5 medium-sized pretzels (not a lot).

Ingredients

• Dough
  • 250g flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 3.5g dried yeast
  • 1.5 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 160g milk
• Glaze
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 0.5 tbsp salt
  • a little water
• Other
  • 1.5 tsp baking soda (for boiling)
  • baking paper
  • rolling pin

Method

1. Dough:

• Mix dry ingredients of dough (everything minus oil and milk), add oil and milk and mix again (with a fork)
• Knead until homogenous (using a machine is fine)
• Let rest until it rises (to double size), about an hour

2. Cooking:

• Divide into about five pieces, roll into 1-2 cm thick cylinders, fold into pretzels.
• Boil 1l water in pan, add baking soda.
• Pre-cook pretzels in boiling water, each for about 10s.
• Put pretzels in a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
• Preheat oven to 200°C. Bake pretzels until they "get some color" (maybe 15 min).

3. Glaze:

• Mix glaze. It needs just enough water so it's barely runny (should be thinner than a paste, but shouldn't be just watery) - maybe a few cl.
• When pretzels got some color, apply glaze to pretzels and bake for a few more minutes.

Notes

Dough gets sticky as heck. This may be normal.

If glaze is too watery, it remains gelatinous after baking and it's all weird (not that bad, just weird).
