Whole Wheat Pretzels
Whole Wheat Pretzels are made healthier! Super easy to make, these pretzels are a perfect side to a soup.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon active yeast
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 2 cups warm water
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon water
- coarse salt for topping
Instructions
- In a bowl of a stand mixer, mix together the yeast, brown sugar and water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, until it becomes frothy.
- Using the dough hook of your stand mixer, mix in the all-purpose flour and salt. Then slowly begin adding the whole flour until the dough just comes together in the mixing bowl. Let it knead on a medium-low setting for about 3 minutes .
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, and turn to coat. Cover the bowl with a tea towel or plastic wrap, and set it aside to rise for about an hour, or until doubled in size.
- Separate into 16 even balls, and roll out “snakes” of dough. Then twist them to make pretzel shapes. Cover the dough with a tea towel and let rise for another 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 450˚F. Brush each bagel with a little water and sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
