GERMAN NEW YEAR'S PRETZEL
Steps:
- Heat the milk and vanilla, stirring to combine in a small saucepan until warm. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and let cool to lukewarm temperature.
- In the bowl of your mixer, whisk together the lemon zest, flour, and 1 teaspoon of the sugar.
- Make a well in the middle of the mixture and sprinkle the yeast into the well.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of the vanilla milk on top of the yeast to dissolve it. Sprinkle the rest of the sugar over the top.
- Scrape some flour off of the sides of the bowl with your hands and mix everything together to form ragged dough.
- Cover the bowl with a clean dishtowel and let rest for 10 minutes
- Sprinkle the dough with the salt. Add the rest of the milk and the 4 egg yolks. Use the dough hook attachment of your mixer (or your hands) to knead everything into a smooth dough (about 8 minutes)
- Add 5 tablespoons of the butter, one tablespoon at a time. Knead again for 3 minutes until the dough becomes elastic.
- Cover the bowl again with the dishtowel and let stand for 1 hour in a warm place.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Knead the dough again for a few minutes.
- Divide the dough into three equal portions (use a kitchen scale).
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll each portion out into a log 2 feet long.
- Braid the three dough strands together.
- On the last 4 inches of both ends, roll them out 8 inches long (4+3/4 inches wide) and use a sharp knife to cut the ends into three strands. Roll each stand to create log shapes, then braid them together.
- The result should be a long fat braid in the middle with small long, thinner braids on the ends.
- Transfer the entire dough braid to the prepared baking sheet. Pull both ends down and tuck them under the fat middle braid, forming two loops.
- Cover with the dishtowel and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 F.
- Beat the egg white in a small separate dish.
- Brush the braided dough with the egg white and sprinkle the pearl sugar over the top.
- Cut the remaining butter into small pieces and scatter over the top.
- Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes until the pretzel is golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool to warm before serving.
- Serve with butter and jam.
GERMAN NEW YEAR PRETZEL
This is a traditional New Year treat in Germany. It brings luck when it's the first thing you eat in the New Year. Germans typically eat it with butter spread on it. Rather than a salty pretzel, this is a lightly sweet dough. I converted and translated this from metric measurement and German language, and it turned out just wonderfully!

- Knead dough, adding more flour as needed, until dough is elastic. Cover bowl with a clean damp towel or plastic wrap and allow dough to rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 390 degrees F (199 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
- Gently knead dough; roll into a long rope on the prepared baking sheet and twist into a pretzel shape. Cover dough with a clean towel or plastic wrap and allow to rise for 15 minutes more.

Steps:
- To make in food processor or large mixer: combine flour, gluten, brown sugar, salt, yeast. Add water until dough ball is formed. (This will take much longer in a mixer than a food processor.) Remove from bowl and knead by hand for 2-5 minutes until dough ball is smooth.
- If you have an extra day, place dough in covered bowl into refrigerator for 8-24 hours; bring to room temperature before rolling out (approximately 25 minutes).
- If making the same day, allow dough to sit on counter top for 5-10 minutes before proceeding.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Boil water for dipping pretzels.
- Divide dough into six pieces and roll each piece into long thin pieces approximately 24" long. Take each piece and shape into upside down U. Lift up the ends and form a twist in the middle section of the piece. Bring the ends to the top of the pretzel and press into the dough. Proceed with shaping each piece.
- Add baking soda and sugar to boiling water. With large slotted spoon, dip each pretzel into the water solution for 5 seconds. Place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper and sprinkle with coarse salt. Place baking sheet in oven and reduce heat to 425 deg F and bake for 10 minutes. Then turn the sheet and bake for another 10-15 minutes until all pretzels are nicely browned.

GERMAN NEW YEAR'S PRETZEL (GROSSE NEUJAHRS-BREZE)
Steps:
- Measure or weigh flour into a large mixing bowl.
- Proof the yeast by dissolving it in 1 cup/250 milliliters warm milk with a pinch of sugar. Leave it in a warm place for about 15 minutes.
- When bubbles form, add it to the flour together with 1 whole egg, butter, salt , and lemon zest, and work it into a medium-stiff dough.
- Knead for several minutes or until dough becomes smooth and silky. Form it into a ball and place it in an oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm spot for 15 minutes.
- Sprinkle a large tabletop or another work surface with flour and turn dough out onto it. Turn once to coat. Divide into 3 equal pieces (it helps to weigh them, not just eyeball them).
- Roll each into a 1-foot-long cylinder and let rest for a few minutes (this helps relax gluten ). Starting in the middle, lengthen the dough into a rope by rolling against the table top and applying pressure outwards. The middle should be thicker than the ends.
- Continue this way until you have 3 strands of dough at least 3-feet/1-meter long each. If dough continues to spring back, let it rest for a couple minutes and try again.
- Beginning in the middle, braid the 3 strands together toward each end. Pinch the ends closed. Lengthen the braid slightly by pulling on the ends.
- For good luck : Place several foil-wrapped coins (lucky pennies- Glueckspfennige ) between the braided strands. The person who finds a coin has their New Year's wish come true.
- Form braid into a pretzel shape and place on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. Cover with a clean dish cloth.
- Place the oven rack on the second shelf from the top. Heat oven to 350 F for 30 minutes. Make an egg wash with the egg yolk beaten together with 3 tablespoons of water. Brush the braid with it.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack .
- If you are serving the bread the same day, sprinkle with sugar for decoration. If the bread is to be kept for several days, frozen or shellacked, do not sprinkle with sugar , as it will make it soggy.
- Enjoy.

- In a small bowl, sprinkle yeast over milk. Let sit for a minute, then stir to combine. Let sit until frothy, about 10 minutes.
- In the bowl of a large food processor fitted with a dough blade or a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Mix in yeast with milk, butter, and egg until dough forms. Knead until dough becomes smooth and elastic. Place in lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, 1- 1 1/2 hours.
- On a lightly floured large surface, lightly knead dough. If you want to make the braid on top of the pretzel, break off 1/4 piece of the dough and cover with a cloth. Roll the larger piece into a long rope, about 3 feet long. Place a piece of parchment the size of your baking sheet under the middle of the rope. Twist the ends together and place over the middle of the rope to form pretzel shape. To make the braid, cut the set aside dough into 3 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a foot long rope. Pinch together the edges at one side and tightly braid. Seal the edges on the other side. Position on top of the lower part of the pretzel and lightly press down. Cover the entire pretzel with a cloth and let rise until puffy, about 1 hour.
- Place rack in center of oven and preheat to 350 degrees In a small bowl, whisk together egg, sugar, salt, and milk for topping. To keep the holes in the center of the pretzel open, fill with crumpled pieces of foil. Brush the entire surface with the topping. If desired, sprinkle with pearl sugar.
