FLUFFY PRETZEL BAGUETTES
The fluffy pretzel baguettes are crispy on the outside and buttery and fluffy on the inside.
Recommended Equipment
Ingredients
- 500 g flour
- 7-9 g dried yeast
- 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 360 ml lukewarm water
- a little plant oil
- 75 g vegan butter at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons boiling water
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- sesame
- sea salt
Instructions
- First, gather all your ingredients and prepare them in the right amounts. That makes it so much easier and more fun and you're less likely to forget anything.
- Combine flour, yeast, salt and sugar in a bowl, mix, add water and knead for about 10 minutes by hand or with a machine at medium speed. Just add a little water or flour if the dough is too flaky or sticky.
- Apply a little oil to a bowl and your hands, place the dough in the bowl to let it rise for about 1 hour.
- I usually cover it with a damp towel and put it in the warm, switched-off oven. The temperature should be around 30°C/ 85°F. Temperatures over 40° kill the yeast.
- After an hour, the dough should have doubled. Punch it down to release the air.
- Knead again for a moment, roll it into a long baguette and cut in 5-7 pieces.
- Roll each piece into a rectangle and apply vegan butter, and pile them up. Don’t apply butter to the last one yet.
- Roll the pile out into b big rectangle carefully by only setting the rolling pin down.
- Apply butter and roll up from one of the long sides.
- Cut lengthwise.
- Put them on parchment paper on a baking tray, twist them up and let them rest for 20 Minutes.
- If you don’t want to bake them right away, you can now put them in the fridge, well covered and leave them there over night. Or you can even freeze them.
- Preheat the oven to 210° C/410°F.
- Now we need 2 tablespoons boiling water and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Stir very carefully and apply to the pretzel baguettes with a brush.
- Then apply some more butter. Sprinkle with salt and sesame and bake golden brown for about 20 minutes. The fluffy pretzel twist baguettes are best served warm.
Notes
It is also possible to use fresh yeast. Dissolve 21 g (half a cube) with the sugar in the lukewarm water, let it rest for 10 Minutes and then mix it with flour and salt in the bowl, knead it for 10 minutes as well.
