And do you use baking soda or lye? Made a batch with soda, ordered up some lye.

Going to make a pretzel ring with beer cheese dip for sunday's family reunion Christmas lunch. Using baking soda. I'll save the lye for Granny's soap recipe.

They sell premixed in a bag around these parts. Usually Amish companies. Some are sweet with sugar in the mix, and I prefer the plain stuff.
Fresh pretzels are pretty standard in mom and pop food stores, even the gas stations.

I do not care for the pretzels, no need to buy, much less make any.

Jack has it right.
Roll out, let rise. Bake, brushing with baking soda/water mixture. That will get you the chewy crust you're looking for.

Well, made up a batch with lye today. Was super easy, came out great, family enjoyed them. Paired well with my Brown Ale I made recently. Results are in, lye pretzels far superior to baking soda pretzels. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/HIQbH8p.jpg)
