this one is Rip's fault, I have been thinking about the pretzel dogs he did a few weeks ago. Every once in awhile I try making pretzels, I have never done one that I am 100% happy with and probably never will find the ultimate because I don't want to play with lye This recipe is the best that I have found so far, I wish I had shaped a few into pretzels and not done them all as rolls.....
mixed up the dough this morning, let rise for about an hour, cut into pieces and shape into rolls (or pretzels if you want), cover with plastic wrap and into the fridge for a few hours (you can go longer, the longer the go the better the flavor is going to develop)
get the oven (or grill , my heat source of choice) ready . Boil 4 qts of water and gradually add 1/3 cup of baking soda into the water - it bubbles up
turn it down to a simmer
drop the rolls/pretzels into the water for 15-20 seconds per side, take out with slotted spoon and onto the baking sheet , sprinkle with kosher salt
bake at 350 degrees
little lunch - while it was still hot I added some ham & cheese
