Oktoberfest meal; used coarse sea salt; can cool a bit before serving, but it is a last min dish. In my cool house I have found heating my dryer, turning off, and placing dough inside to rise works well. For this, I heated dryer twice because I let it rise until it was convenient to boil and bake - about an hour extra.
Love the pretzels. Used regular table salt and it worked, though obviously isn't as tasty as the pretzel salt. Also sprinkled a few with a mixed salt/herb seasoning and those were great. Just used the recipe again today to make bagels. The only thing I changed was the shape. Am replacing my current bagel recipe with this dough instead. These were very good and not too hard to make, but 3.
I'll watch them more closely after about 2. Good stuff! Great recipe! I make it frequently and my family adores them! I use the baking soda method as another cook suggested and they turn out amazing- taste just like pretzels should. I normally serve them with a cheese fondue for a simple and fun weekend meal. Very easy and flexible recipe too, which is another plus!

I added the baking soda to the water too, used lots of egg wash and lots of Kosher salt. I guess my oven is a bit slow, because I had to bake them for 2. My grandchildren hid small bits of Babybel cheese inside the fat part of the pretzels (ours were not exactly evenly rolled out), and it was so delicious it made me wish I'd stuffed a long piece of dough with it. I'm sure swiss cheese would be good also, especially if you eat the pretzels with mustard as we did. Enjoy! I made the dough in my bread machine.
Like other reviews, added the baking soda to the water. And watched for cracks in the dough which did have a tendency to get water logged. Baked only 1. 8 minutes. Great pretzel. We ate them with mustard from Germany.
