 Soft Pretzel
These are so good! I have an addiction to soft pretzels, and these are really simple to make and turn out so well. Have with some warm nacho cheese sauce, and you're in comfort food nirvana.

Instructions
  1. Whisk the yeast into warm water. Allow to sit for 1 minute. Whisk in salt, brown sugar, and melted butter. Slowly add 3 cups of flour, 1 cup at a time. Mix with a wooden spoon (or dough hook attached to stand mixer) until dough is thick. Add 3/4 cup more flour until the dough is no longer sticky. If it is still sticky, add 1/4 – 1/2 cup more, as needed. Poke the dough with your finger – if it bounces back, it is ready to knead.
  2. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead the dough for 3 minutes and shape into a ball. Cover lightly with a towel and allow to rest for 10 minutes. (Meanwhile, I like to get the water + baking soda boiling as instructed in step 6.)
  3. Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Silicone baking mats are highly recommended over parchment paper. If using parchment paper, lightly spray with nonstick spray or grease with butter. Set aside.
  4. With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut dough into 1/3 cup sections.
  5. Roll the dough into a 20-22 inch rope. Form a circle with the dough by bringing the two ends together at the top of the circle. Twist the ends together. Bring the twisted ends back down towards yourself and press them down to form a pretzel shape.
  6. Bring baking soda and 9 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Drop 1-2 pretzels into the boiling water for 20-30 seconds. Any more than that and your pretzels will have a metallic taste. Using a slotted spatula, lift the pretzel out of the water and allow as much of the excess water to drip off. Place pretzel onto prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle each with coarse sea salt. Repeat with remaining pretzels. If desired, you can cover and refrigerate the boiled/unbaked pretzels for up to 24 hours before baking in step 7.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and serve warm with spicy nacho cheese sauce.
  9. Cover and store leftover pretzels at room temperature for up to 3 days. They lose a little softness over time. To reheat, microwave for a few seconds or bake in a 350°F (177°C) for 5 minutes.
Recipe Notes

Make Ahead & Freezing Instructions: Baked and cooled pretzels freeze well up to 2-3 months. To reheat, bake frozen pretzels at 350°F (177°C) for 20 minutes or until warmed through or microwave frozen pretzels until warm. The prepared pretzel dough can be refrigerated for up to one day or frozen in an airtight container for 2-3 months. Thaw frozen dough in the refrigerator overnight. Refrigerated dough can be shaped into pretzels while still cold, but allow some extra time, about 1 hour, for the pretzels to puff up before the baking soda bath and baking. Baking Soda Bath (Step 6): The baking soda bath is strongly recommended because it helps create that chewy texture and distinctive pretzel flavor. If skipping, brush the shaped and unbaked pretzels with a mixture of 1 beaten egg + 1 Tablespoon of dairy or nondairy milk. This is known as an egg wash. Sprinkle the brushed pretzels with salt. The egg wash will help the salt stick. If you don’t have an egg, simply brush with 2 Tablespoons of dairy or nondairy milk. Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels: Skip the coarse salt topping (and skip the egg wash, see note above, if you aren’t doing the baking soda bath step). Bake as directed in step 7. Meanwhile, melt 4 Tablespoons (60g) of unsalted or salted butter (your choice). Brush the baked and warm pretzels with melted butter then dip the tops into a mix of cinnamon and sugar. I usually use 3/4 cup (150g) of granulated sugar and 1 and 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon. Cinnamon sugar pretzels are best served that day because due to the melted butter topping, they become soggy after a few hours.

Instructions
  1. Mix together flour, yeast, salt, olive oil, and about 250mL water using paddle attachment. Once well mixed, add remaining water and continue to mix. Dough will be soft.
  2. Add cherries and chocolate chips, mix slowly. Add another 40-50g flour, as the cherries will add moisture. Mix until well combined.
  3. Lightly flour surface and form a ball. Place in lightly greased bowl and cover. Allow to rise at room temperature until double in size, around 1 1/2 hours.
  4. Tip risen dough out on lightly floured surface shape or plait the dough.
  5. Place on baking sheet, cover, and let rise at room temperature until double in size, around 1 1/2 hours.
  6. Bake at 22C fan (392F convection) for 20 minutes, the lower temperature to 180C (356F) and bake for another 20-25 minutes, until baked completely. Loaf should sound hollow when the bottom is tapped with knuckles. (I think it should also be 190F internal temperature, but with the fruit inside it might be harder to check, so maybe check temp in several places?)
Recipe Notes

This is one of Paul Hollywood's recipes, as seen on The Great British Baking Show: Masterclass.  Well, assuming I have the instructions correct.  I'm looking forward to trying this, and will try to get pictures and make notes of the (hopefully) wonderful results!

Instructions
  1. Add milk, egg and butter to bread machine pan.
  2. Add bread flour, 3 Tbsp sugar and salt to pan. Tap pan to settle dry ingredients, then level ingredients, pushing some of the mixture into corners.
  3. Make a well in the center of dry ingredients; add yeast. Lock pan into bread maker.
  4. Program for dough. Start bread maker. When done, unlock pan from bread maker. Place dough on floured surface. Knead dough about 1 minute, then let rest 15 minutes.
  5. Roll dough into a rectangle, about 15' x 10'. Spread 1/2 C melted butter over dough to within 1" of edges. Then sprinkle 1/4 C sugar and cinnamon evenly over dough. Roll dough up tightly on long side. Press edges to seal and form into a 12" long, evenly shaped roll. With a knife or thread of dental floss, cut roll into 1" pieces. Place rolls into greased 13" x 9" baking pan. Cover and let rise in warm, draft-free place until double in size, about 30-45 minutes.
  6. Bake in preheated 375F oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan on rack for 10-15 minutes.
  7. While cooling, make glaze by mixing confectioner's sugar with orange juice, stirring until smooth. While the rolls are still warm, drizzle glaze over top of rolls as evenly as possible. I left them in the pan, but you can cut them apart and remove from pan, whatever you prefer.

Instructions
  1. Begin with the Sweet Roll Dough, and add the first 4 ingredients after the original mix when additional flour is added.
  2. After the first rise and punch down, divide dough into 4 parts. Shape 3 of the parts into 14" strands. Place on lightly greased baking sheet (or baking sheet with parchment paper?). Braid loosely, fastening strands at one end, then tucking under. Make an indentation on the top for the second, smaller braid.
  3. Divide fourth part into 3 pieces and shape into 3 strands each 12" long. Braid these 3 strands and place this small braid on top of large braid.
  4. Cover and let rise until double, 45 to 60 minutes. Brush with egg yolk glaze, if desired.
  5. Heat over to 350F. Bake 30 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown.
  6. While baking, whisk powdered sugar with a little milk - use only enough to wet sugar enough to make the icing. Cut the cherries.
  7. Ice while warm, then place cherries and sprinkle almonds on top. Enjoy!

Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, whisk flour, salt and yeast until well mixed. Pour in warm water and use a wooden spoon to stir until a shaggy dough forms. The mixture will be wet and very sticky to the touch.
  2. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place 8 to 18 hours until dough rises, bubbles and flattens on top.
  3. Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Once oven is preheated, place a 6-quart Dutch oven (with cover) in oven 30 minutes before baking.
  4. Punch down dough. Generously flour a sheet of parchment paper; transfer dough to parchment and, with floured hands, quickly shape into a ball. Place dough on parchment paper and sprinkle top lightly with flour. Top with a sheet of plastic wrap and let rest 30 minutes.
  5. Remove Dutch oven from oven. Uncover dough and carefully transfer to Dutch oven, with or without parchment paper beneath (if bottom of Dutch oven is not coated with enamel, keep parchment paper beneath dough). Cover Dutch oven and return to oven.
  6. Bake bread 45 minutes covered, then another 10 to 15 minutes uncovered until dough is baked through and golden brown on top. Cool slightly before slicing.

Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the water. Set aside for 10 minutes until the yeast is foamy. If it doesn't foam, the yeast is dead and you should discard it. If you are using instant dry yeast, you can just mix it with water and sugar and use without waiting the additional minutes. It doesn't require proofing.
  2. In a large bowl, sift in the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and gradually pour in the water and yeast mixture. Form the dough into a ball. Put on floured surface and knead for 10-15 minutes until smooth and elastic. Divide the dough into two even pieces and shape into slightly flattened balls. Dust lightly with flour. Cover with a kitchen cloth and let rest for about 10 minutes.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer the loaves to the sheet, leaving at least 2 inches (5cm) between them. Flatten to about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick with your hand. Cover with a plastic wrap, and leave in a warm place for about 1 hour. The dough should rise.
  4. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prick the loaves 4-5 times using a fork or a knife. Sprinkle with cornmeal, if desired. Bake until golden, for about 25 minutes. Rotate the pan halfway through baking. Store wrapped in plastic wrap. Enjoy!

The Bread

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf French Bread, Split Lengthwise
  • 2 sticks Regular (salted) Butter, Softened

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Spread one stick of softened butter on each half of the loaf.

Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes, or until butter is melted and starting to soak into the bread.

Crank on broiler and broil bread for 3 to 5 minutes, watching the whole time. Remove when butter has started to brown and blacken. Don’t under-broil it! The flavor really kicks in when the butter’s color changes.

Slice into strips and serve immediately.
