For anyone interested in making pretzels: make sure to ALWAYS use proper PPE (glasses, gloves) when handling lye. I have worked with many strong chemicals (non-food, in a lab) and acids don't scare me, but bases like lye did scare me, they will cause tremendous burns and just a single drop can blind you instantly.

This video needs to be labeled as ‘ENTERTAINMENT ONLY’ and ‘HAZARDOUS’. A common household baker without proper knowledge of this product could definitely endanger themselves along with their household or nearby patrons.

@florianmatz1885 6 месяцев назад

Love your Channel - Brezel are looking very nice for the first attempts. As you correctly hinted, Swabian Brezels are scored - in contrast to Bavarian ones. However, IMHO you missed some minor details: - the ‘Bauch’ meaning the thick part you’ve scored should be a bit more bulky in contrast to the arms of the Brezel. The arms are really quite thin here and end with a slightly thicker knot - the so called Knöpfle 😉. Furthermore Swabian brezels have more butter / fat than Bavarian ones. Otherwise - they look awesome. Keep up your inspiring work.

@satkaramsingh20 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for the hints. If you care to watch the video from beginning to end, you'll find the parts where the "Knöpfle" are mentioned, as well as the belly of the Brezeln, and the higher fat content too... ❤️🙏🥨 You should see samples of what Jon accomplished in the days after I had left Arizona, all on his own, together with Amanda. It's quite remarkable how quickly he perfected the craft... 😁🥨

@chrisbauer4586 6 месяцев назад

you should open the damper. Brezel are always baked with open damper so the lye steam can escape and the brezel will get more oven rise. In traditional Bavarian Bakery we produce the Brezel ahead and freeze them like on 90% of proofing, then we put them directly from the freezer into the lye. So it might be a solution for you to make one bigger batch and then bake as needed, plus you can give them enough time to proofe. when i started my baker aprenticeship, in 1987, it was very common to use Pork Lard with Brezel, nowadays it changed to butter or margarine. with the %tage of the lye you can also change the colouring of your brezel, with a higher %only it gets quicker dark , but it stays more soft as the baking time is shorter, like our brezel with a 100g bakes about 14 to 15 min and ware more dark as yours....but that depends on how you, or your customours wants them. But then....i am a Bavarian Baker... so that would be our way :) Best Regards from Bavaria Chris

@satkaramsingh20 6 месяцев назад

Thank you Chris for your remarks and the support. I'm sure Jon will appreciate the hints regarding the pre-production as well as freezing. Yet, these are made completely without any baker's yeast, but with a sourdough starter. This results in a very different schedule and timing as well. I guess Jon will have to do some (more) testing here. Regarding the lye percentage. I've never heard anyone going significantly over 4%>. Could you elaborate what percentage that is, you are suggesting in order to be able to cut the baking time down to 14 or 15 minutes (mind, the Brezn here are 140g each)

@chrisbauer4586 6 месяцев назад

@@satkaramsingh20 we used liquid lye, not sure if the percentage is the same. We used on 1 liter water 100g lye. but you could use between 80 to 120 gr. I usally stayed with the 10%, only in Korea I used 8 because people there didnt like darker bread/breadrolls. as you are german, i copy the product details in here: Pfisterer Brezellauge® E 524 Natriumhydroxidlösung, ca. 36% NaOH, UN 1824 im 20 kg Kanister hergestellt im quecksilberfreien Membranverfahren Meisterqualität N II S zur Produktion von hochwertigem Laugengebäck frosterfähig 1 kg Lauge mit 10 - 12 kg Wasser verdünnen (nicht mehr als 4% wässrige Lösung) I think you meant the 4% "wässrige Lösung" and i meant the percentage lye to water you are mixing in...sorry if i get it wrong in the video :) anyways it is such fun to watch Jons videos and even i am a baker for 36 years, working and traveling all over the world...i can still learn from those videos as they are so well spoken and explained. all the best from Bavaria chris

@CaMaMorro 6 месяцев назад

The algorithm got me here and I‘m glad it did. Yours looks like great content I‘ll definitely will check out more of. There‘s just one thing that bothers me, as a German, when seeing those „pretzels“ that I just have to tell you (I‘m sorry I can‘t help it). When you throw them into shape, make sure to give them 180° more twist. When you look at a pretzel the left arm goes to the right, crosses back, and back again. So the left arm ends up on the right side of the pretzel and vice versa - not just end up at the same side it came from. Only then, it is a real pretzel (as told to me by a friend‘s father who is a pretzel baker). But other than that, well done on your first batch.

@satkaramsingh20 6 месяцев назад

I am not sure why you are complaining about the way we're doing the "Brezel-Schlingen ", but it comes out exactly the way you're describing it. And truth be told, it's only real if it's called by its true name (which is Brezel or Brezn. Not Pretzel!) 😉 🥨

@SD_Alias 6 месяцев назад

Very nice video! You said there are no Bretzel baked in Northern Germany. Thats almost right. But we have "Holsteiner Brötchen" these are made of braided "Plunderteig" like Franzbrötchen are made of. But way less sugar and these are put in lye too. They are fluffy and delicious… And tastes wundervoll with Nutella or Honey and butter.

@satkaramsingh20 6 месяцев назад

I guess all kinds of lye-dipped products are getting more and more popular all over Germany. As far as I understand, traditionally using lye before baking comes from the south of Germany, but has gained popularity all over in the last decades.

@PretzelGuy5280 4 месяца назад

I make philly pretzels in denver. Get the large 50lb bucket of red devil lye. I also use just under boiling water to dissolve the lye, and keep the water hot during the process of baking. I find a better Maillard reaction with hot water and it’s how we did it in Philly.

@fbkintanar 6 месяцев назад

In the Philippines, we have a kind of boiled rice cake made with lye, suman sa lihiya. It's not really a "cake", more like a thick pudding wrapped in banana leaves. Like many varieties of suman, the whole leaf-wrapped bundle is boiled, in this case in lye water. The leaf color comes off on the rice cake, making it slightly greenish, and the flavor is quite distinctive. It's not salty, but mildly savory. It is eaten with a kind of caramel syrup. I remember hearing that this is traditionally made by boiling the bundles in water with wood ash, I don't know if they use food-grade chemical lye nowadays.

@grNpePpeRs 6 месяцев назад

If you go through with constantly making them, get heavy coated silicone parchment paper(30grams I believe) the silpats will erode over time. Also I keep mine dipped 30 seconds in lye. A pretzel should fell like an under proofed dough, strong spring back in belly, but lightly airy.

I selfishly wish we'd get some more ingredient weight shoutouts, but I enjoy the hunt of piecing it together. 5,550 g of flour and 300 g butter, I'm guessing the rest: 500 g cold water + 3,000 g milk + 830 g starter + 110 g salt. My guesstimates yields about 10,240 g of dough, so about 180 g over their 10,080 g (which would be about 134 g of dough per pretzel). I assume maybe a little less starter and a little less water+milk.
