The earthy flavour was a bit intense for a full bowl of soup. Pretzels have been requested frequently so perhaps I'll work them into another soup or stew dinner soon...Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10057980932079998162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596036395193130130.post-5325628105951566582012-08-20T11:35:23.437+10:002012-08-20T11:35:23.437+10:00Those pretzels look so inviting!

I definitely had Gasometer's menu on my mind when I decided to make the pretzels to have with the borscht and am glad I did for the sake of the others. I wasn't as happy with my knots after seeing how great yours turned out, but perhaps the extra twist you gave them resulted in less overhang as well as the size difference?Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10057980932079998162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596036395193130130.post-28218675992501205672012-08-13T06:09:29.309+10:002012-08-13T06:09:29.309+10:00I love it when you come across a blog post that ju...I love it when you come across a blog post that just reads your mind - pretzels have been on my to-bake list for ages. There's a distinctly doable-looking version in the Vegan Boulangerie that's been looking at me! I don't think it tells you when to boil the pretzels though - do you have to boil *and* bake?Joeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17066424084187434409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596036395193130130.post-50519723406150054612012-08-08T10:43:00.335+10:002012-08-08T10:43:00.335+10:00You and Johanna are working hard to make me want p...You and Johanna are working hard to make me want pretzels! What impressive twists and I like the idea of seasoning with caraway seeds.

Adding the kidney beans & cabbage is an awesome sounding twist that I think I could go for! As for the pretzels, yum!!

I love the pairing with borscht. I liked bathing my pretzels in a cooled bicarb and water bath because it is easier to manage when things get frenetic and there is a toddler under foot. I tried the boiling water with pretzel rolls last year which was a disaster (but worked ok when I made bagels). I think my pretzels were a lot smaller which was fine for us but they needed more overhang on the end of the knot - yours look great.Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.com
