There is no disputing the alluring fragrance of freshly cooked salt and pepper buns filling the air. This perfume is beckoning to you, alerting you that something amazing is going to be savored. The temptation of warm, buttery salt and pepper rolls is irresistible, especially when it invokes memories of the famed Aunt Anne’s salt and pepper rolls. The good news is that you may enjoy this entertaining activity now without having to wait until your next visit to the mall. You may reproduce Aunt Anne’s magic in your own kitchen with the help of this tutorial!
Imagine making these mouthwatering, twisted delights by hand and the satisfaction you get when you remove them from the oven, golden and glittering. From the tactile delight of kneading dough to the satisfaction of shaping it into the traditional shape of a salt and pepper roll, this is about the whole experience, not just the food. Which aspect is the best? You can take the whole family along on this baking experience.
Let’s talk about the pretzels themselves. These expertly made treats are rich, somewhat sweet, and perfectly balanced between chewy and delicate. They’re almost identical to Aunt Anne’s famous shopping center pretzels, which means you’re going to have a real treat. Regardless of your level of experience with dough punching, this recipe is designed to be foolproof, ensuring anyone can achieve pretzel perfection.
ingredients：
- Warm milk (1 cup, about 40°C)
- Unsalted butter (2 tablespoons, melted)
- Light brown sugar (1 tablespoon)
- Plain flour (3 cups)
- Instant yeast (2.25 teaspoons)
- Salt (1 teaspoon)
- Coarse salt (to taste)
- Melted butter (2 tablespoons, for brushing the top)
Make the dough:
Warm milk and a little spread are added at the beginning of the cycle, and the margarine is melted for around 90 seconds in the microwave. After that, you’ll stir in some light-earthy sugar until it dissolves. This mixture serves as the foundation for your batter and contributes the rich flavor and subtle sweetness that make these pretzels so overwhelmingly delicious.
In the bowl of an electric blender, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. If you do not have one, do not be alarmed; manual manipulation is just as persuasive. It all comes down to mixing the ingredients into a smooth, almost flavorless batter. Once it’s ready, you’ll let it rise in a warm location until it grows significantly. The magic happens here as the mixture transforms and gets ready for molding as the yeast does its miracles.
The real fun begins when the batter is molded. It will be split into pieces, folded into a log, and then stretched into long ropes. Allow the kids to smack the mixture on the counter and observe how it becomes more pliable. This is a unique opportunity to engage them. The secret to achieving that distinctive pretzel hull and flavor is to then plunge each rope into a baking soft drink arrangement. Without this stage, bread would just look like a pretzel, and that isn’t what we’re going for.

You’ll heat the mixture until it turns a beautiful, brilliant brown after shaping it into pretzels and dusting them with coarse salt. Additionally, this is where you can use your creativity. Assuming you enjoy the classic salted pretzel, you’ll be OK. However, if you’re craving something sweet, skip the salt and instead sprinkle a generous amount of cinnamon sugar on top after baking. Additionally, for adults, how about serving your pretzel with a rich brew cheddar plunge or a tangy mustard? The potential consequences are incalculable.
We shouldn’t neglect the dietary standpoint, though. Even though these pretzels are wonderful, it’s always wise to be cautious of what you’re consuming. Each pretzel offers a considerable number of calories, fat, and carbohydrates, but they also contain fiber and protein. Remember, it’s important to practice some restraint.
