Homemade Soft Everything Pretzels
Don’t be intimidated by making soft pretzels at home! It is way easier than you think! With just a handful of ingredients, you can have homemade soft pretzels! My girls love buying soft pretzels every time we hit the mall, but unfortunately for them, our mall is near extinction, so we don’t go all that often! I knew that we could make an at home version of soft pretzels and it ended up being way easier than I thought!
Last year when we were all locked down and making bread, I finally tackled my fear of yeast! I have used it many times, but never felt confident and was always worried that I would kill the yeast. Well, during March of 2020, with nothing but time on my hands, I mastered bread making and conquered my yeast fears! The yeast is easy to use in this recipe. If you are unable to correctly identify water temperature with your hand, feel free to use a candy thermometer to double check! You want the yeast between 90 and 110 degrees Fahrenheit for this recipe.
What is everything but the bagel seasoning?
Everything but the Bagel Seasoning is all the rage right now. It is one of those food trends that just won’t quit! It is definitely one of my favorite seasoning blends and tastes so good on chicken, fish, and avocado toast! It is a combination of sesame seeds, poppyseeds, garlic, onion, and sea salt.
Where can you buy Everything but the Bagel Seasoning?
Everything Bagels are one of our favorites and it just seemed to make sense to add the seasoning to our homemade soft pretzels! I purchase mine at Aldi but I know that the original version is from Trader Joe’s. You can grab it on Amazon, too!
Colder weather is right around the corner and that means more time indoors and more time in the kitchen cooking your favorite comfort food! Add these easy Homemade Soft Everything Pretzels to your cooking arsenal and serve all fall and winter long! Pull out this recipe to impress your guests when the holiday entertaining season starts!
