Sourdough Discard Soft Pretzels

Dough

▢ 7 grams active-dry yeast

▢ 150 grams whole milk sub: plant-based milk

▢ 25 grams brown sugar

▢ 75 grams sourdough discard

▢ 240 grams bread flour

▢ 4 grams salt

▢ 14 grams unsalted butter softened

Baking Soda Bath

▢ 452 grams hot water

▢ 10 grams baking soda

Topping

▢ 7 grams pretzel salt

▢ 56 grams unsalted butter melted

-Whisk the yeast into the milk and sugar. Cover with plastic wrap and let the yeast activate for at least 10 minutes or until foamy and fragrant. Whisk the sourdough discard into the yeast mixture

-Fold the dry ingredients in using a spatula or your hands until no traces of flour remain. Continue kneading with your hands until a cohesive dough forms

-Knead the butter into the dough. The dough will gradually feel less greasy as the butter is absorbed. Knead for 5-10 min until ball forms. Let rest for 15 min covered.

-Roll dough into ropes (about 5) and cut into segments. Transfer to baking sheet and freeze for 15 min

-Dissolve baking soda in hot boiling water. Drop a few hand fulls of dough into the baking soda bath. As soon as the dough floats, fish them out and transfer them to a parchment-liked baking sheet

-Sprinkle pretzel salt on top of the dough. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes at 425 F

This is the recipe I use, from Make it Dough and they’re delicious and easy to make!!

... Read moreSourdough discard has become a popular ingredient for bakers looking to minimize waste and enhance flavors in their recipes. These Soft Pretzels not only use sourdough discard but also provide a delicious twist to a classic snack. To achieve the best texture, it's essential to knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, allowing the gluten to develop properly. For added flavor, consider experimenting with different toppings beyond traditional pretzel salt. Some popular choices include garlic powder, everything bagel seasoning, or finely grated cheese. If you're feeling adventurous, you can also infuse the dough with spices such as paprika or cheddar cheese for a unique flavor profile. Storing pretzels is also simple; just keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days. For longer storage, pretzels freeze well; just ensure they are completely cooled before wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap. When ready to enjoy, reheat them in the oven or a toaster for that fresh-baked taste. Creating Sourdough Discard Soft Pretzels is a delightful way to share your baking skills with friends and family. They make a perfect addition to parties, movie nights, or as a fantastic homemade gift. With these tips and tricks, you'll be on your way to mastering pretzel-making and impressing everyone with your baking expertise!
