Ingredients
-
1½ cups water, room temperature
-
2 tsp. active dry yeast
-
1 tbsp. molasses
-
2 tbsp. butter
-
4 ½ cups all-purpose or bread flour
-
½ tsp. salt
-
½ cup baking soda
-
3 egg yolks, beaten
-
¼ cup kosher salt
Directions
Ensure the kneading blade is installed in the Bread Pan. Place the water, yeast, molasses, butter, flour, and salt in the Bread Pan in the listed order.
Place the Bread Pan in the appliance, ensuring that the “Bread Maker” text on the Bread Pan is facing you.
Set the appliance to the Bread Maker mode. Select the P11 setting.
After 10 minutes, cancel the program. Select the P12 setting. Let the dough rise for 60 minutes.
Divide the dough into eight equal pieces. Roll out each dough piece into a 24-inch rope. Make a “U” shape with one rope. Hold the ends of the rope and cross the two sides of the rope over each other before pressing the ends into the bottom of the “U” to form a pretzel shape. Repeat until the dough is formed into eight pretzels.
Place a pot on the stove top and fill the pot with water and add the baking soda. Bring the water to a boil.
When the water is boiling, add the pretzels, two at a time, for 30 seconds. Use a large, flat spatula to transfer the pretzels to the Crisper Tray and Baking Pan (multiple batches might be required if not all the pretzels fit on the accessories).
Brush the pretzels with the egg yolk and sprinkle the kosher salt over the pretzels.
Set the appliance to the Air Fryer/Oven mode. Select the Airfry setting. Set the cooking time to 15 minutes. Let the appliance preheat.
When the appliance has preheated, slide the Crisper Tray and Baking Pan into the appliance. Cook until golden brown.
Let the pretzels cool slightly before serving.
Serving suggestion: Serve with mustard.
