I worked at Auntie Anne's making pretzels in high school. I even graduated from their pretzel school. LOL It was such a fun job. Now I make pretzels using your recipe for my family. First time flipping a pretzel into shape for many years but I still have the skills! So much fun and delicious!
Is boiling the pretzels in baking soda water essential in making auntie Anne’s ?? EVERYTIME I do it, my pretzels sinks to the bottom of the pot and it falls apart so the shape is ruined and it’s very lumpy. How can I avoid this ?
@@aub5020 @aub5020 .. If your pretzels are sinking and losing their shape, maybe you can dunk them one at a time keeping them on top of a spatula or spider (something that is slotted but big enough to hold the pretzel) while you dunk them for 30 seconds or a little less. I've had them sink, but they maintain their shape b'cas I scoop them out fast. I'll bet you'll master it! 🥰 🥨🥨🥨
Its funny how we all remember baking with mom. I miss my mom dearly. Memories of baking and cooking with her will always be with me and truly have made me a fabulous cook and baker today.
Unfortunately the thought never occurred to me to learn how my Mom was making the stuff that we kept gobbling down, It wasn't until it was too late that I realized she wouldn't be doing it forever!
Pro Tip for those wanting a consistent measurement when doing things like these pretzels: Stick a length of painters tape along the front edge of your work space (in this case 22”-24” long, or 2 small pieces 22”-24” apart), then you’ll be able to easily eyeball your lengths to match.
Both my grandparents did this. And argued over which one was the smart on who thought this up. Grandpa was the true chef and baker. Grandma was the teacher. You decide.
Literally, just made these. Perfect recipe (though I used bread flour and a touch more butter). My son absolutely loves homemade soft pretzels, and claims that I make them only once each year. This recipe will make it easy to do it more often. Thanks!
I been watching a lot of your videos since I retired in May. Always loved to bake but with working 50 hours a week it was hard. Now I bake almost every day and I have used your recipe a lot❤️ They always turn out perfect. Thank you❤️
Preppy Kitchen I have to say you are my go to channel for common everyday ingredients and simplifying recipes so anyone can make what you are making! I am making these after re-watching this video. I like your style, your kind of shyness and your get to the point presentation. Thank you!
Making your pretzel recipe every day is genuinely helping me through a mental health crisis. Artisan bread and sourdough next! Thank you for inspiring me during a difficult time
I just made them! I've never made pretzels before and I'm not experienced with dough AT ALL but following this recipe they turned out perfect! Definitely recommend!
Great job coaching all the little nuances that can make or break the bake. I’m gonna try this for the first time on the weekend. These look so good. I think I’ll do half salt and half cinnamon sugar.
Just made these, and shared one with my partner straight out of the oven with butter. My gosh they are delicious, and they look fantastic. Thanks for sharing this!
So it’s been a while you’ve but it’s worth mentioning again. Your new kitchen looks so gorgeous. I can’t stop looking at those beautiful copper utensils and the green oven.
I made these today with my grandson, and oh my lord are they ever so yummy delicious soft great taste I did 4 with everything bagel and 4 with salt so good! my family ate it right up! Thank you
Baking with the grand kids is one of the best times I have. My three grandsons are 16, 18 and 20. I hope they pass along the knowledge and a family tradition ( Crazy factoid. My grandad was the bread guy, dad as well, now me, handed off to the grandsons. The ladies of the family are in charge of all the sweet treats.) The term lady was derived from a term that once ment the one who kneeds bread. I read this in the classic cookbook, "The Joy Of Cooking "
Already planning my Christmas gifts and I think this recipe made the list! I'll pair with a jar of some homemade sweet and spicy mustard. I've made so many of your recipes and you've never failed me. Congrats on all of your subscribers too, you deserve it, John!! I found you when you were still under 200K and it's gratifying to see your success 💜
His first video I saw was a Christmas cookie recipe. I missed about 10 years baking and I 3 different go to recipes and decided to try his work my 2nd batch. They'll pair nicely with your pretzel gifts.
I made these without a stand mixer. I needed more flour than the recipe calls for (i weighed it) but these are totally worth it! Really really good pretzels!
@@PreppyKitchen you don't fold pretzels you twirl them in one fluid twisting motion, my mom taught me when I was 10, apparently you missed that lesson. real pretzels are made with a lye bath for that particular flavor and color. anyway I guess you don't have lye laying around your kitchen.
Making these right now. Hubby is napping coz he wants to be awake when they come put of the oven! Its. midnight...couldn’t resist the urge to make these pretzels, and eat them! Thank you!
Used someone else’s recipe first because they didn’t use a mixer and added milk..my dough was so messy and sticky I just baked it off for bread for the birds. My initial plan was your recipe and just to do it all by hand cuz I don’t own a stand mixer. Well, third times a charm because used yours and got in on first try! These pretzels 🥨 are delicious and will save your recipe and make them when I have another craving! So easy and tasty; even without a stand mixer!
I love watching you bake I can tell you really love it and it brings you so much joy, because you are enjoying yourself it's so fun to watch. Some cooking channels have great recipes but the people on them are like ferris Buehler's teacher lol
Hi John, another successful recipe for me following your video and the tips. I need to work on the shape a bit and other than that all turned out very good. Thank you. First time ever I made soft pretzels at home :) I used the baking silicone mat that had the measurements and it was v helpful to make the 24 inches long threads. One little hiccup was when I had the water boiling in a huge pot when I added the baking soda it boiled over and spilled all over my stove top. I need to remember to handle it safely next time
I made these a couple weeks ago after seeing your Instagram! They came out perfect! So happy to have a video to go with it now! ❤️🥨 I also made your Neapolitan cake last weekend and have just about mastered (lol kind of) macarons thanks to you! I’m here for all your amazing recipes 😍
I love your videos. I am a novice baker, but I am learning about hydration. If I did it correctly, your recipe is around 70%. But, many others are around 58%. Is this critical, or should I aim for the middle? Thanks for all your tasty recipes. Keep up the great work 👍
WOW, I'm blown away by your website!! Your video is great but your website specify the print portion where the measurements adjust according to serving size is amazing! well deserved sub and like!
Have you tried adding barley malt syrup to the boiling water? It's used for making bagels (both in the dough and when boiling the bagels before baking), could add a nice flavor component and crust to these pretzels. I'm looking forward to trying this recipe. Cheers!
I haven't tried the syrup, but I buy the malt powder that King Arthur sells on their website to add to bagels & pretzels. There's just something special about that little added malt flavor that really makes them perfect! I get my pretzel salt from them too. 🥨 Yum, pretzels! I've seen that syrup on someone's video before, but haven't tried it yet.
tried this recipe this past week and they came out wonderfully! mine came out a bit chonky but i really like them like this. soft and taste great! i did everything by hand but it was a really rewarding end result ^^
Made these today and they were DELICOUS, my sister who hates pretzels stole like 3 from me lol. Def recommend experimenting with pepperoni pretzels or cinnamon sugar ones!!! DELICOUS 😍😍😍😍
I just plain love soft pretzels. This is the perfect recipe. I bake bread at least twice a week, white, egg bread, wheat, New York style light rye, bagels and pretzels. I do use a high gluten pizza/bread flour and that makes a difference in the final product. Flour added to a recipe isn't the same every time. Some times a bit more, maybe a little less. Don't get bread dough too stiff. It's easier to add a bit more flour than a bit more liquid. I like that window pane explanation. There's nothing like the smell of bread baking. If you're not a bread baker, you sure should be. I never had anyone turn down a fresh loaf. I've been a bread baker for almost 55 years.
Tried this recipe today 3/28/21. It was A+. classic recipe. Will definitely do it again. This one’s a keeper When is the bagel show coming? Update: done this several times. This may be your best recipe. If you’re reading this and are thinking about doing it. It’s well worth the effort.
Thank you sooooo much, I love watching your videos, you give measurement by measurement that’s what I love about you and the pretzels are so good thanks 1 million…😊
I’m pretty sure I’ve already said this but I am absolutely in love with this channel!! You make me want to cook EVERYTHING I see you create!! You are so fun and adorable! Brian (apologies if spelled wrong) is a very lucky man and so are those kiddos!! And obviously you are lucky and blessed to have them as well!
My favorite thing about this guy is he uses grams and ml's for measurements on his recipes. This is the best practice I have found because so many recipes can go wrong if the weight/volume is off.
Brilliant video, and amazing channel! If you allow me a tip, when rolling the dough, make the ends significantly thinner. This will make it easier to properly fold the Pretzels, It also opens the door for different textures after making, as the thinner bits can get slightly crispy.
These were perfect. My husband asked if he could eat one for lunch. I said, "Eat one for lunch, breakfast, supper, break time, snack time". .I goofed and used bread flour instead of regular flour and they were still perfect. JL
Thank you so much for this video. I just followed your instructions tonight and made the best pretzels ive ever had. Everyone went nuts over them. Definitely going to be on my list to make again and again...
Yes!!! I have always wanted to make pretzels! I saw recipes asking for some "lye solution" and that kinda scared me. Baking soda is much less scary for sure.
@KILEY KITTRIDGE It's a food safe lye (sodium hydroxide) that pretzels makers use to give pretzels a chewy crust, mahogany color and a glossy & shiny gleen to them. I've made pretzels a ton of times, but have never bothered buying the lye. Using baking soda, then an egg wash, works out PERFECT every single time! 😊
Another method to get closer to a “true” pretzel that doesn’t involve messing with lye is to actually bake your baking soda beforehand, which increases its alkalinity! The information on this process varies a bit, but generally around 250 degrees Fahrenheit (120 C) for at least 1 hour should work! Maybe worth a google :)
Amazing, yet again, very addictive. I needed to use a bit more flour, but it's normal, there can be differences in the flours. The baked pretzels are light inside perfect outside. I made salted and cheesy version in different shapes (pretzel, braid, circle, etc). It's hard to stop eating 😂
You have an epic personality! I truly enjoy watching your videos! Keep shinning! and thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes! Love seeing your children and husband in your videos too
I’m glad to see you make a bit of a mess with flour and powdered sugar too. Lol. I just started baking and just got a stand mixer. I have made bread, cake, and cupcakes. I tried a few buttercream recipes and I finally got it right for my family using your American dreamy buttercream recipe and using salted butter and adding some salt at the end because I usually add a little more sugar to make it the thickness I want or if I add too much cream or milk. But my original point (lol) was that OMG I didn’t know how messy baking could be. 😂 I somehow always get powdered sugar all over me and my work surface no matter how careful I am. I have to wipe buttercream off the mixer when I’m done. 🤦♀️ I never needed a apron cooking and I told my mom, “I’m starting to realize why bakers have to have aprons. I have to change my clothes everytime I bake anything.” But yeah. I’m tackling these pretzels next and trying to work my way up to sourdough. Lol.
They are crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside the Day you make them, a Day after are a bit soft. The third they are hard, you gotta like heat them up a bit so they get yummy again
@@bigrivtodagled8210 yeah! Most other cooks/bakers on have their ingredients prepared before they film so it looks "less messy". I love it when he gets messy 😂
I worked at Auntie Anne's making pretzels in high school. I even graduated from their pretzel school. LOL It was such a fun job. Now I make pretzels using your recipe for my family. First time flipping a pretzel into shape for many years but I still have the skills! So much fun and delicious!

thats awesome. Love their pretzels. im a fan of butter and salt pretzels and dry ones with some mustard
@@aub5020 @aub5020 .. If your pretzels are sinking and losing their shape, maybe you can dunk them one at a time keeping them on top of a spatula or spider (something that is slotted but big enough to hold the pretzel) while you dunk them for 30 seconds or a little less. I've had them sink, but they maintain their shape b'cas I scoop them out fast. I'll bet you'll master it! 🥰 🥨🥨🥨
freeze them! not for long, just until the critical parts hold together.@@aub5020
lol i did too

Unfortunately the thought never occurred to me to learn how my Mom was making the stuff that we kept gobbling down, It wasn't until it was too late that I realized she wouldn't be doing it forever!
it is comforting to see you overmeasure the sugar and get flour on the mixer like us amateurs.
I love this about him and makes me sooo comfortable watching his videos!! He’s so realistic and charming I love ittttttt
Uh hmmm
It 100% was intentional; an it was effective lol
Except for us real amateurs that don’t own a mixer..
wouldn’t happen if he used the correct equipment
tried this recipe. tried 5 others. THIS one yields the best results!! thank you so so much for sharing, John!
Pro Tip for those wanting a consistent measurement when doing things like these pretzels: Stick a length of painters tape along the front edge of your work space (in this case 22”-24” long, or 2 small pieces 22”-24” apart), then you’ll be able to easily eyeball your lengths to match.
Great idea
Genius!
Both my grandparents did this. And argued over which one was the smart on who thought this up. Grandpa was the true chef and baker. Grandma was the teacher. You decide.
That’s what I do, I move my dough to my tape measurer

Is it a 1 to 1 conversion for using bread flour? What difference did you notice?
@@sweetdiggity5899 Bread flour give a more fluffy and chewy taste. You can use all bread flour.
That's awesome! I mistakenly bought bread flour for my mother and I searched what to make with it. Your comment made my day. Thank you!!!
I been watching a lot of your videos since I retired in May. Always loved to bake but with working 50 hours a week it was hard. Now I bake almost every day and I have used your recipe a lot❤️ They always turn out perfect. Thank you❤️
Me: what about the butter-
Him: Don’t think I forgot about the melted butter
Me: 👁👄👁
My grandkid’s and I made your recipe today. We had so much fun and they turned out marvelous. Your video and printed recipe was perfect. Thank you.

I used his recipes all the time they’re amazing
Hello John, my Wife and I just tried your recipe, they came out great. We pulled the dough to 24 inches so they came out big.
Thanks so much
I love how real you are and relatable you are in the Kitchen you make every intricate process look so easy!

I would rate myself a 4/10 on preztel folding 😂

Being from the Philly area, you’re speaking straight to my heart! 😍🥨
First of all, I'm obsessed with your videos, I find them so relaxing and satisfying to watch. I literally put them when I need to relax jajaja.
Tried this recipe, made burgers and decided to roll a few pieces of dough into pretzel buns. Baked a few minutes longer and they were perfect!
Wow. That's aweseome. Adding it to my resto-bar in the Philippines. Thanks so much!
I do not cook but when I see your smile it makes me happy ,from saudi arabia🇸🇦

Did you use sugar by chance?
Also im worried about them being like... hard almost on the outside
The sugar to activate the yeast was all the sugar I used
They are crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside the Day you make them, a Day after are a bit soft. The third they are hard, you gotta like heat them up a bit so they get yummy again
You're almost to two million! This is so exciting!
HE GOT 2M
June 2024 he's at 4.6🤯
Yum! I love soft pretzels and always wanted to try to make them at home. Thanks for making this video! I’m gonna try to make them soon!
Just made this with my daughter. It’s perfect!
Thats an awesome recipe.. You make all the recipes simple👌👌👌
He is getting messier and messier doing this recipes 😂
Mmmm..yummy
Maybe he was tired. To get almost 2 million followers takes dedication and lots of videos
Yeah, I love it that way! 😅
What was so messy about this video? The fact that he spilled a bit of flour? Give me a break. Nobody is not "messy" when baking
@@bigrivtodagled8210 yeah! Most other cooks/bakers on have their ingredients prepared before they film so it looks "less messy". I love it when he gets messy 😂
