Serving Size: about 15 (depending on how big or small you make them... mine vary in size)
Sidenote: I got this recipe from another blogger just by googling how to make soft pretzels without yeast and it worked so well. I don't want to steal all the credit so I am posting a link to her blog but I will post the steps on here for you guys. Hers is not hard to follow either! Feel free to check her link but I'm going to tell you everything in more detailed easy steps. http://wyniskitchen.blogspot.com/2011/05/homemade-soft-pretzels-without-yeast.html
2 cups All Purpose Flour
3 tbsp Butter or Margarine
2 tbsp Granulated Sugar
1/3 cup Whole Milk (You can also use 2%)
pinch of salt
1 Egg (Make Egg Wash)
~My changes~
2 tsp Baking Powder
Coarse Salt or Salt Flakes (I didn't use these, Just regular salt and still GREAT)
Also, I made two batches of dough and then put them together so you can do the same or double the ingredients. The ingredients here makes a small amount so I recommend doubling.
You will need more milk then that so keep your milk handy!
~ Dough Preparation ~
1. Pour flour into medium to large mixing bowl.
2. Add the butter.
3. Stir it together. The mixture will be (crummy is how she described but it wasn't that crummy), more so just until the butter is mixed in well.
4. Add Sugar, Baking Powder and Salt and mix.
5. Add milk slowly until the mixture is all moisturized. (It helps if one person stirs while another pours but if working by yourself just do pour, stir, pour, stir... etc)
6. Make sure the dough is not too sticky, and not too dry. Mix in more milk little bits at a time until you get it the proper dough texture.
(Some Extra tips for first time doughers)- I kneaded my dough with my hands in order to get the milk and mixture into a proper dough form.
- It took a little while to find the perfect texture
- Here's a tip that helped me: when you think you have a good dough, take off a small chunk and try to roll it out into a long snake like structure.
- If it breaks apart, add some more very small amounts of milk or a dab of water; if too sticky, more flour. but be careful not to put too much flour. Good News: Since there is no yeast being used, you don't have to wait for it to rise!
Now that you have your dough you are ready to move on to the fun part!
~ Pretzel Shaping ~
7. Take a fairly small ball of dough (not too big, not too small, experiment and you'll figure it out)
and roll it into a long snake like structure (there are also you tube videos to help)
8. Make an n shape. Take both ends and fold them across each other once. Then fold it over the top part. (It's hard to explain so if you need help, feel free to search the internet. But come back here after cause you're not finished yet).
Be creative. You can make them the normal pretzel shape, twist both ends, or use fun cutouts. I made pretzel shapes, and cutouts.
~ Cooking ~
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Make egg wash by mixing the egg with water or just using the whites, without the yolk.
Grease the pan before placing the Pretzels on it.
Brush the egg wash over the pretzels and sprinkle with salt.
Place in oven for 10 or 11 minutes. They will start to brown around edges. They are done when they look nice and golden...
and VOILA! Easy homemade, no long wait, no yeast pretzels.
I dipped mine in honey and it tasted delicious.
ENJOY!!!

DeleteI appreciate you checking out my page and apologize if this didn't go well for you! I haven't been on my website in several years and missed all these comments! I thought I was on to something and I enjoyed the recipe when I tried it from the other page that I attached here. But I was a lot younger when I initially did this and didn't know as much about blogging and cooking as I do now! Sorry if they weren't great and I hope you can come back for some of my newer material as I adapt and improve! Thank you! ~Sunshine!
DeleteMine are in the oven. Can't wait to dip them in cheese!!! :P
ReplyDeleteHi, this is my pretzel recipe. Thank you for adding a link back to my page and not taking the full credit for it.
ReplyDeleteBtw I am a she ;)
Wyni
why, just why
DeleteThis is not Your recipe, women/men long before u have been making pretzels.... Don't be rude
DeleteDo they work with margarine?
Delete1. yes they work with margarine!
Delete2. @make.eat.love you're welcome and that's weird, at first I referred to your post as a she, and then I somehow kept writing he later, not sure why I did that. My apologies.
DeleteThese don't taste like pretzels...more like pretzel shaped bread..
ReplyDeleteI agree, not very nice. What a waste of time.
DeleteDefinite agreement. Mine tasted exactly like biscuits all three times I tried it.
DeleteI just made the pretzels and they don't taste like pretzel at all. It is more like tasteless bread.
DeleteI appreciate you guys checking out my page. I apologize if this didn't go well. It's been a very long time since I have worked on my blog and when I started this I knew very little about cooking but was trying to get viewers and didn't realize this had gotten so much attention, until now, coming back to it all these years later. When I tried this recipe from her blog, I thought she was on to something and I enjoyed it at the time, but I take into consideration everyone's critiques as I am much older and wiser. Sorry if they weren't great and I hope you can come back for some of my newer material as I adapt and improve! Thank you! ~Sunshine!
DeleteThese pretzels are going to be in my tummy lol
ReplyDeletethese things dont deserve it
DeleteI'm so sorry! I was younger when I posted this and thought I was on to something, hope you can check out my newer stuff as I adapt and improve. Sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused.
DeleteMine are in the oven. Cant wait!!!

ReplyDeleteHope you liked/like them
By the way Wyni I apologize, i will change it to she and hers when I am on a computer
ReplyDeleteHaha you're also welcome for giving you your credit!!! :]

DeleteYou still haven't changed the gender? Wooooow.
DeleteYour link to the original recipe is incorrect. It should be http://wyniskitchen.blogspot.com/2011/05/homemade-soft-pretzels-without-yeast.html
DeleteForgot the baking soda, added cinnamon, and sugar it tasted great.
ReplyDeletewow thank you!
DeleteWow cinnamon! That's awesome! Good idea!
ReplyDeleteHad a massive craving for big soft pretzels (like...you know...the super ones? ;) and, well frankly we're having a bit of a snow storm here in Chicago this week so...it was either....brave the winter conditions to satisfy my craving OR try this recipe...My bowl is out...Here we go :) Thanks for posting. Jo

ReplyDeleteMINE ARE IN THE OVEN!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMine are in the oven!! Kinda scared what they are going to taste like(;
ReplyDeleteHey guys! check out my breakfast recipe! It is a delicious breakfast, snack or even lunch. If you really wanna defy the rules of life, you could be so crazy to make it for dinner lol but it is delicious! [: go see for yourself
ReplyDeleteJust tried this recipe and they are awesome! I replaced the sugar with brown sugar and put in 2 tsp. Of cinnamon into the mixture! Mmmm simply are amazing!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try that
DeleteI made these and they were terrible, they definitely weren't pretzels at all. The ratio of sugar to flour was definitely too sweet to dip in cheese sauce. Over all, not a fan.
ReplyDeleteDo you know what will make them taste better?
Deletei am going to try this it looks fun ans easy cant wait thanks for posting this
ReplyDeleteOk sure it make have a bit of a biscuit taste to it and next time I wont use as much sugar but that's my liking. But other than that WOW these things are awesome and even thought about making hamburger buns out of these.

ReplyDeleteThese were so gross

ReplyDeleteStop being obnoxious, I absolutely loved these, ^you're just jealous of her beauty (;
ReplyDeleteWow thank you so much
Deletethese were so disgusting honestly mine didn't even taste like bread or biscuits they just tasted like soap or something... never again will i try to make pretzels.

ReplyDeletenot a good recipe. horrible taste, oh wait.. it had no taste.
ReplyDeletethese are flavourless scones.
ReplyDelete1/5 pretzels
3.5/5 scones
Last .5/5 total crap
DeleteYou will have a much better finished product if you actually use the baking powder the original recipe calls for. The reason you see many recipes calling for baking soda is because those recipes also call for active dry yeast. As this recipe is yeast free baking powder should be used...essentially baking powder is baking soda and cream of tartar. Give it a try, you'll be amazed!
Delete<3 For the love of baking and eating <3 Brittany W <3
Thank you for your tips! I am sorry to those who haven't liked this recipe. I haven't tried it since I was much younger at the time that I shared this, so I hope to improve my page and posts as I am much better in the kitchen now days! lol
Deletejust made them!! taste great!! took a while to get the shape but there yummy!!
ReplyDeleteWrapped mine around hotdogs for the kids lunch.. yummy
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I'll try that too! I just made them for the first time. They tasted like biscuit pretzels, but with coarse salt and a cheese dip made from American Cheese slices, milk, and butter, they taste fantastic to me!
DeleteThank you guys for the compliments. I know some people didn't prefer this recipe, and I could totally improve on it as I am a lot better in the kitchen now days. Thanks for your tips. I will try to add people's critiques and tips into the post when I edit it.
Deletegonna try this recipe for sure, was wondering do you think they would taste good with a cream cheese dip.!!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow thank you I may have to try this! I've been looking for a recipe for Pretzels without yeast for my Grandmothers birthday. Also just wanted to say I'm shocked by how much you and I have in common. :) P.S. Your puppy is so cute! :)
ReplyDeleteKinda creepy...
DeleteWondering why the baking soda change from baking powder wouldn't the baking powder give them a more fluffier inside taste?????
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I am not sure what younger me was saying up there with the Baking powder/baking soda thing... I am going to have to go back and make edits to this.
DeleteWould it mess it up too much if I used margarine instead of butter?
ReplyDeletemargarine should be fine
DeleteMine are in the oven now. I cant wait to try them ��������
ReplyDeleteHow did yours turn out? Mine were disgusting and that's with following the recipe. i am going to try a Betty Crocker recipe for pretzel bites.
DeleteI hope these will be a lot better.
I am making these for the first time and I can't wait to try them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My little 14 month grand daughter is going to try them too.
ReplyDeleteI regret trying these. I would not let my grand daughter try these or my husband either. These were very disgusting , not fit to even give to a dog.
ReplyDeleteyou're the one who baked them, and mine turned out fine. get off your high horse.
DeleteThese were horrible! So depressed. Taste only the baking soda. Just go with bisquick.
ReplyDeletepeople don't be so ungrateful or rude...sometimes it's not the recipe it's the one who is making the product...my one FACS teacher said you should focus on the process not the product
ReplyDeletei agree.
Deletei did what you said but it turned out to taste like f****** s*** you will pay you b****.
ReplyDeletegood luck with that. also, why bother swearing online if you're going to censor it?
Deletekendranisha stop cursing gosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletehope it works!!! fibgers crossed
ReplyDeletewill have an update soon
ok thanks but it was not helpful at all
ReplyDeleteconsidering the fact that they were no yeast pretzels,they were pretty good! i also fried them in a bit of vegetable oil for about 60 seconds. great with some mustard!
ReplyDeleteThis is another great tip! I am going to be working on updating and improving this blog so I will be writing down all the tips I received and adding them to this post. Thank you for your feedback!
Deletein the oven hope read some comments so.... hope they taste great!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you EVERYONE for your feedback!
ReplyDeleteI did not realize this post would have gotten so many views and comments. I understand that these were not the best for everyone who tried them, and I take into consideration everyone's tips and critiques, even the more negative ones and will be working on improving as much as I can!
I will be remaking them, soon, following my own recipe here, and adding some tricks as other people listed their ideas and than I will update the post with what works, to make it better and enjoyable for all! Thank you for all the comments and even if you didn't like this recipe, I hope you can check out my newer stuff as it comes out. I promise it will be better and much more improved! Thank you! ~Sunshine
