Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups of flour
  • To make, combine 1 cup of water with 2 tablespoons
  • 1/2 tablespoon of dry active yeast
  • 1/2 cup table salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon of molasses
  • A Half Tablespoon of Vegetable Oil
  • Two Tablespoons of Butter, Softened
  • Parmesan cheese and 1 minced garlic clove

Instructions

  • Add the active dry yeast after warming the water.
  • When foamy, let this settle for 5 minutes.
  • Add honey, molasses, and vegetable oil to this.
  • Flour and salt should be put into the bowl of a stand mixer.
  • Add the liquid ingredients.
  • Knead the dough on low for five minutes with a dough hook attachment.
  • Take the dough by the spoonful and form it into a tight ball.
  • Put the ball back in, cover it, and give it two hours to rise.
  • On a counter, roll out the dough.
  • Set the oven to 450°F.
  • Divide the dough into six equal pieces (roughly 4 oz pieces)
  • Each piece of dough should be rolled into a 36-inch-long rope using damp hands. If necessary, keep lightly wetting your hands throughout the process (for traction)
  • The dough shouldn't snap if you pick up the ends and repeatedly slap it on the counter since it is strong.
  • Twist to form a pretzel shape, twice twisting the central twist (double a normal twist)
  • Put the ends of the pretzel under.
  • On a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, spread out the pretzels.
  • 8-minute baking.
  • Turn oven to broil and cook for two minutes, watching it carefully to prevent burning.
  • Combine the minced garlic clove with the 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
  • Add butter and garlic with a brush, then top with parmesan.
  • Serve.
