Instructions

  1. Knead a smooth, rather firm dough from flour, yeast, milk, butter and salt and divide it into 10 pieces. Shape the pieces into round balls and let them rise under a damp kitchen towel for about 30 minutes. Then shape the balls into a long strand with tapered ends. The pretzel is then looped from these strands of dough.
  2. For the pretzel lye, put 3 tablespoons of baking soda and 1 liter of water in a saucepan and bring to the boil. The pretzel dough pieces are dipped into the still hot lye for about 5 seconds with a slotted spoon or similar.
  3. The pretzels are then placed on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and cut lengthways at the thickest point with a sharp knife, sprinkled with granular salt and baked at 180 ° C for 30 minutes.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
