■ 🕑 4. Followed this pretzels recipe: https://www.seriouseats.com/pretzel-rods-from-classic-snacks-made-from-sc
comments: 1. I didn't have sea salt/kosher salt, it would have definitely improved the final result. Pretzels need to be salty and visual salt chunks add to the pretzel experience. 2. Adding more salt to the dough / brine would probably have improved it. 3. Baking according to the recipe yielded a somewhat soft pretzel, which was good, but when I think pretzel sticks, I think hard and dry pretzels -- next go will bake for longer. 4. It went excellently well with cheese sauce and a kind of peanut/ sambal mixed sauce.
