These Soft Pretzel Rolls are easy to make and have a nice shape and color.
 Fun to make and eat, try them today !


This recipe for Soft Pretzel Rolls, is based on a recipe by Jessica Lankey, from The Rajter/Stutzman Family Favorites, one of the cookbooks created at Family Cookbook Project.com. I have made few changes from here.


Soft Pretzel Rolls
For 6 Pretzel

Ingredients:
3 ½ cups AP  flour= 390gr
4 Tbsp. brown sugar - I use golden sugar
2 tsp. salt (sea salt preferably) - I use only 1 tsp.salt
1 Tbsp. dry yeast, dissolved in the water = 11 gr
1 cup water =240ml (120°) fairly warm but not hot.


water-soda solution:

1 Tbsp. baking soda mixed with 1 Cup boiling water

1 egg beaten with 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl.

H O W:
Mix water, yeast, brown sugar in a food processor (yes, use your food processor!) or use a large mixing bowl. Add flour and salt and mix until dough is smooth. (Add more flour if sticky).
Let the dough sit overnight in a plastic container in the fridge.

Now divide the dough into 6 pieces.

Roll each piece into a rope, very thin,a little bigger than a pencil about 60 cm long. 

Shape into an upside down U shape on your table. Bring the ends together and twist them.

Flatten the ends with your fingers and bring to the top of the pretzel and press in the dough to secure, making it look like a pretzel. Place on a cookie sheet.

Now let the pretzels raise for 30-40 minutes or until about double in size.
Brush with the water-soda solution.

I didn't boil my Pretzel Rolls -For a chewier crust put 2 Tbsp. baking soda mixed with 4 Cups boiling water drop the pretzel in there for about the count of 10 and then lift out with a strainer or pancake turner.

Brush the pretzels with the egg and the water that was whipped up in a small bowl.(This gives the pretzel a nice shiny glaze).

Sprinkle with toppings like coarse salt.
 Bake in a hot oven 225C (400 to 450 degrees) for 12 to 15 minutes or until well browned.

Fluden - "The Lost Recipe was found !!" ..


Fluden
My grandmother,Devora (dora), was born in Passover 1909 ,she came to Israel in 1950, some time ago ,we had some magic and exciting moments.. remembering ours beloved grandma.
I was asking my mom to find me grandmother's recipe for sour-cream dough filled with
Rahat and she told me:

"when you'll came on saturday..we'll look for it together in that small bag full with grandmother's recipes... " .
So mom took out one recipe , another recipe, everything was written by my grandmother in german in a handwriting mom reads so easily, and I can hardly understand, but when mom is reading the recipe aloud ,it's more clear to me .. There were many recipes , in some of them were written only the Ingredients.. couse grandma was a great baker, and she knew how much time to bake the cake and in which baking dish.. but I don't know... and then few minutes later , mom take out an old paper,rolled up, on top was written Fluden.. and inside was grandmother's fluden recipe.
