Soft Pretzels
Dough1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
1 tablespoon honey or granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups warm (105 to 115 degrees F) water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups whole wheat flour
4 to 6 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, coarsely
shredded (1 to 1 1/2 cups packed), optional
2 to 2 1/2 cups white bread flour (or unbleached flour)Glaze and Topping
1 egg, beaten with 1 teaspoon water
Coarse (kosher) salt, very coarse pretzel salt, or seeds,
such as poppy, caraway, or sesame (your choice)In a large bowl, mix the yeast and honey with the warm water. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, or until it is foamy. Stir in the oil, salt, whole wheat flour, cheese (if used), and about 2 cups of the white flour, or enough to make a soft dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead it for 5 to 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and just a bit tacky. Add small amounts of flour as necessary. (Note: The dough may also be mixed and kneaded in a heavy duty mixer or in a food processor, if desired. Follow the manufacturer`s directions.)Grease or coat some baking sheets with nonstick spray. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.To make the pretzel shapes, pinch off a piece of dough; then roll it on a flat surface until it forms a rope that is 1/8 inch to 1/2 inch thick. Shape the pretzels on a flat surface; then immediately transfer each one to a greased baking sheet as soon as it is made. Keep the pretzels about 1 inch apart.Brush the top of each pretzel with some of the egg glaze; then sprinkle it with coarse salt or your choice of seeds. Vary the seeds used on the different parts of a single pretzel, for an interesting and attractive look.For chewy pretzels with well-defined shapes, bake them immediately, without rising, in a preheated 425 degree F oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are browned and well done. (They will rise slightly in the oven.) (For softer, fatter, bread-like pretzels, let them rise in a warm place for 30 to 45 minutes, or until they are almost doubled; then bake them as above until they are lightly browned.) Immediately remove the pretzels from the baking sheets (gently loosening them with a metal spatula, if necessary), and cool them completely on wire racks. Store them in an airtight container.Yield: about 16 large, standard-shaped pretzels; the number of holiday shapes depends on their size.
