Pretzel recipe, anyone?!


Question:

Pretzel recipe, anyone?

I am in grade 8 and as our last project of the school year our teacher is making us make our own business. We have to make our own product and sell it in the gym to all the other grades. Me and my friend are making pretzels and after a survey we found out that these are the most popular flavours: pizza, cinnemon, original, cheese and chocolat dipped. Does anyone have a simple and cheep pretzel recipe that can vary to fit all of these flavours?

BREAD STICK PRETZELS

1 can refrigerator bread sticks
Pizza sauce or melted cheese
Cinnamon sugar
Parmesan cheese

Use refrigerated bread sticks to form pretzels, letters, shapes or numbers. Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees. Dip in pizza sauce or melted cheese. You can also roll them in cinnamon/sugar mixture or Parmesan cheese before baking.

Cinnamon Sugar

Use this mixture of cinnamon and granulated sugar as a sprinkle-on.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup granulated sugar
4 tsp cinnamon
Spice bottle with shaker lid
Method:
Thoroughly stir together sugar and cinnamon. Place a small funnel over the spice bottle; carefully pour in cinnamon sugar.

Soft pretzel Recipe
For 3 dozen 6-inch sticks or
For 1 dozen 6-inch Pretzels
1 tbsp Yeast
1 tbsp Sugar
1 tsp Salt
2 tbsp softened butter or softened margarine
1 cup warm (115-+ deg F) water

2 3/4 cups flour

Coarse Salt to sprinkle on Pretzels before baking
5 tsp baking soda mixed in 4 cups water in a non-aluminum saucepan.
1 large slotted spoon to "go fishing"
Greased cookie sheet
Preheat oven to 475 F

Put yeast, sugar, salt, butter/marg, water and ONE CUP of the flour into a medium mixing bowl and pour in the water.

Stir till all smooth, and yeast starts to bubble.

At this point add the rest of the flour, stir till it is mixed in.
When mixture is too stiff to stir with a spoon, begin kneading.
Knead dough till smooth and till it no longer sticks to the bowl and your hands

Allow dough to rise to about double its height.

While dough is rising, grease the cookie sheet. and prepare the baking soda-water mixture and bring to a boil on stove.

When dough is risen enough, punch down, knead for a minute or so, then divide and roll the 6-inch sticks with your hands, to about 1/2 inch in diameter, or 12-15-inch long rolls to make into the pretzel shape.

Allow sticks or pretzels to sit for about 1-2 mins. Place them into boiling water-baking soda mixture one or two at a time.

Let the pretzels boil for 1 minute 10 seconds, then flip them over with the slotted spoon and boil on the other side for 1 minute and 10 seconds.

This boiling step gives them a firm skin and adds some flavour. Not boiling long enough leaves them too soft and allows them to rise too much. Boiling too long makes them tough.

Fish them out of the water, let them drip off and place them on the greased cookie sheet.

When all the pretzels or sticks are done, sprinkle the coarse salt on them.

Bake for 12-15 minutes or till sticks or pretzels are golden brown.

You can double the recipe in proportion.
