Make sure your water is at a rolling boil before adding the baking soda, and work with the dough quickly to prevent it from becoming too sticky. You can also add malt powder to the dough for a more authentic pretzel flavor, and brush the pretzels with an egg wash before baking for a shiny finish.

You can use whole wheat flour or bread flour instead of all-purpose flour for a different texture. You can also use honey or maple syrup instead of sugar, and olive oil instead of butter. Non-dairy milk can be used instead of regular milk, and gluten-free flour can be used instead of wheat flour for those with dietary restrictions.

If the dough is too dry, you can add a tablespoon of warm water at a time until it comes together. If the dough is too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it becomes workable. Kneading the dough for a longer period can also help develop its structure and texture.

Question 11

Tips for storing Pretzel Bites to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

• Always store your pretzel bites in a cool, dry place. Heat and moisture can introduce mold and speed up the staling process.

• After opening, consider storing them in an airtight container to maintain their freshness longer.

• If you don't think you'll get through the whole bag quickly, try freezing them! Just separate into portion sizes, place in freezer-safe bags or containers, and pop into the freezer.

• To defrost, just take them out a few hours before you plan to eat them and let them come to room temperature. Or, for a warm treat, you can heat them gently in the oven.
