A nyári szünetünk első napját azzal ünnepeltük meg, hogy valami olyat csináltunk amire az év közben nem igazán jutott idő. Perecet sütöttünk. Tekintsétek meg a képes beszámolónkat.

We celebrated the first day of summer break with something that we haven’t really had time for during the school year. We baked pretzels. Please look at our picture diary.

Here is the recipe we used:

In a large bowl combine 1 1/2 tsp live active yeast with 1 1/2 cups 110 degree water, 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar and dash of salt. Let sit 5 minutes.
Add 4 cups flour, mix well and knead for 5 minutes.
Put in greased bowl and cover with damp towel and let sit 1 hour in a warm place.
Divide into 16 pieces. Roll into rope and shape, dip into 1/4 cup warm water that has 1 tablespoon baking soda mixed in.
Bake at 500 degrees for 8-9 minutes.
Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with kosher salt, with cinnamon-sugar, or Parmesan cheese and garlic salt and you can also serve it with marinara sauce.
