Pretzels

Pretzels are our family favorites and always when I am in Germany I bring these always also to home. 😊 These are so delicious.
Here is also recipe, so you can make these also in home. 😊

Ingredients:
180 ml warm water
6 g dry yeast
0,5 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp vegetable oil
about 250 g flour
sea salt flakes

Soda bath:
1000 ml water
60 g baking soda

Whisk the yeast into warm water. Allow to sit for 1 minute. Whisk in salt, sugar, and oil. Slowly add 250 g of flour. Mix with a  dough hook attached to stand mixer until dough is thick. Add more flour until the dough is no longer sticky. 
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead the dough for 5 minutes and shape into a ball. Cover lightly with a towel and allow to rest for 10 minutes. 
Divide dough into six even parts and roll the dough balls into 50 cm ropes. Form ropes into pretzels.
Bring baking soda and  water to a boil in a large pot. Drop 1 pretzel into the boiling water for 30 seconds. Using a slotted spatula, lift the pretzel out of the water and allow as much of the excess water to drip off. Place pretzel onto prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle each with coarse sea salt. Repeat with remaining pretzels.
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve pretzels with lingonberry jam.
