Baked Potato Pretzels, part 2
The dough is beautiful, with the bacon and chives showing-
And then, with a pizza wheel, I cut it in strips:
And the forming began. I have never attempted a pretzel before, but what the heck? they're rustic, right?
So they went pretty quickly.
Another proof, and the baking started. The temp that the recipe wanted, 375F, seemed too slow for me. They didn't brown, even with 8 additional minutes in the oven. So, in the future, it will be 400F. These are at 375- too light, right?
So I went to the higher temp; I also added cracked black pepper to some, and a bit of thyme to others. Next time, I believe that I will brush the tops with egg wash before sprinkling with parmesan, for a more finished look. All in all, though, I'll call it worth repeating. AND I have a kitchen full of these:
What's not to like? Mal, I only ate 2, with all my experimenting! That will be dinner, I guess. Isn't chives a vegetable?
I'll recommend this recipe, with the changes mentioned- it was in the paper this morning, and my neighbor rushed over with it before she went to work, for me to experiment on. Fun!
