Magical ingredient Gründe


Ingredients[]

  • Gründe salt
    Pathfinding
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 bowl water
  • 2 envelops active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 5 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for kneading
  • 3/4 cup baking soda
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 tablespoon of water

Directions[]

In a large bowl, stir the brown sugar into 2 cups warm water until dissolved. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Stir in the vegetable oil and 3 cups of the flour. Knead in the remaining 2 3/4 cups of flour, the dough will be slightly sticky.

Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and knead until silky; about 5 minutes. If the dough is very sticky, knead in up to 1/4 cup more flour. Transfer the dough to a large, oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 450°. Line 3 large cookie sheets with parchment paper and butter the paper. Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a floured work surface. Knead the dough lightly, flatten it out and cut it into 24 pieces. Roll each piece into a 9-inch stick, about 1/2 inch thick. Transfer the sticks to the prepared cookie sheets, leaving at least 2 inches between them. Let stand uncovered until puffed, about 25 minutes.

In a large, deep skillet, stir the baking soda into 2 quarts of water and bring to a simmer over high heat. Reduce the heat to moderate.

Using 2 slotted spoons, carefully transfer 6 pretzel sticks at a time to the simmering water for 30 seconds, turning once, add about 1 cup of hot water after before cooking the second batch of pretzels. Transfer the pretzel sticks to paper towel to drain, then return them to the cookie sheets, spacing them evenly. Brush the pretzel sticks with the egg wash and sprinkle them with Gründe salt. Bake until richly brown, about 10 minutes.

Riddle[]

To catch a thief, knead and bake. But only use by eve. The yeast will cause the dough to rise, and light the trail of deceit.
