GERMAN NEW YEAR PRETZEL



German New Year Pretzel image

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!

Time 2h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
1 cup lukewarm milk, divided
4 ½ tablespoons white sugar
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, sifted, or more as needed
4 ½ tablespoons melted butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 pinch salt
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon white sugar, or as needed

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup milk in a bowl; add 4 1/2 tablespoons sugar. Let stand until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir yeast mixture and 2 1/4 cups flour together in a bowl until dough is dry and clumpy. Allow dough to rise for 15 minutes. Add remaining 1/2 cup milk, butter, egg, lemon zest, and salt to dough until evenly mixed.
  • 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.
  • Brush egg yolk over dough and sprinkle 1 teaspoon sugar over egg yolk.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.

  • 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.
