German Style Pretzel

German Style Pretzel - While only German's can actually make German Pretzels, this recipe gets as close as you can with the ingredients available in the USA. The pretzels have a slightly chewy outer crust with a soft fluffy interior. The German Style Pretzel taste is partially achieved through a lye bath prior to baking - adding a bit of an alkaline flavor.

Ingredients: bread flour, water, salt, yeast, butter, and diastatic malt powder
