Making pretzels is fun and produces a fantastic result that is uncommon in home cooking. With a little practice, you can turn out truly impressive looking pretzels, pretzel rods, pretzel bites and more that will stand out and draw comments at any gathering or pot-luck. The process that makes pretzels so different than other bread products is that the bread is dipped in a caustic (alkali) bath made of food-grade sodium hydroxide (lye) and water. This is a centuries-old process that alters the dough via chemical burn prior to baking. The result of this process is the unique flavor and shiny exterior of pretzels. Other foods throughout the world such as ramen noodles also use caustic baths prior to cooking to give them their unique flavors and textures. There are hundreds of recipes and tutorials online for making pretzels, but most do not show this "lye-bath" technique. This kit features the true, professional method that gives the recognizable results that taste great and impress!
This requires parental supervision as the sodium hydroxide (lye) that treats the pretzels prior to baking is a corrosive substance and can cause bodily and property harm. With parental supervision, this can be a very fun and educational activity because it involves baking and chemistry.
You will need to supply the following to make the pretzels:
Minimum 2 cups of flour, water, 1tsp regular salt, and common household kitchen tools (pie dish, baking sheet, non-stick mat, wide spatula or straining spoon).
