One last thing to do before popping these in the oven–
Create the Perfect Crust
Brush the boiled pretzel with beaten egg yolk and water mixture to help give the pretzel the golden brown color. Sprinkle generously with salt.
Some of the salt not stick and will fall off which is why I find it better to over salt.
My Little Chefs love to help with the brushing and the salting. I always remind them to hold their hand up high very far away from the pretzel so that the salt is spread out all over and not concentrated in one area. Sometimes that advice is followed and other times it isn’t!
Bake
When all the formed pretzels are boiled, egg washed and salted, bake for about 12 minutes in a 450 degree oven.
Starting at 10 minutes watch the pretzels. Depending on your oven the soft pretzels may cook slower or faster.
Once they are finished we like to brush them with melted butter for an extra delicious buttery taste.
Let them cool for a few minutes if you can and then dig in!
My family LOVES making and eating these soft pretzels. I hope your family will enjoy these SOFT PRETZELS just as much as we do!
