The crispy crust and distinctive flavor of caraway make these freshly baked pretzels a truly tempting experience, bringing the magic of fresh pastries to every bite. They are the perfect choice for a snack, a beer accompaniment, or any occasion when you're entertaining guests.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    In a bowl, combine the flour, dry yeast, sugar, and salt. Add the lukewarm water and melted butter, then mix well.

    2

    Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If necessary, add a little more flour. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

    3

    Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Roll each piece into a long rope, then shape them into classic pretzels.

    4

    In a large pot, bring 1 liter of water to a boil, then remove from heat and carefully stir in the baking soda (be careful, it will foam!).

    5

    Dip the pretzels individually into the baking soda water for 30 seconds, then transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    6

    Sprinkle the tops of the pretzels with fresh caraway seeds, making sure they adhere evenly.

    7

    Bake the pretzels in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown. Best served fresh.
