Soft Beer Pretzels With Sesame

The other day I needed to bring some snacks for friends gathering. Instead of buying all sort of salty and sweet snacks from the store I decided to make salty pretzels with sesame. I was in need of a recipe where the dough doesn’t take hours to rise. So I combined recipes that I found on a web, into this one. The pretzels were a hit and everyone liked freshly baked pretzels. I shaped smaller size pretzels, so it turned out to be enough for everybody.

Also to make pretzels even more mouth-watering grease them with mixture of salt and soft butter. Make sure that the mixture is thick and grease it with spoon. This is a nice snack recipe that everyone will love.

Ingredients:

·         Light beer 200ml /0.8 cup/

·         Oil 200ml /0.8 cup/

·         White flour 4 cups

·         1 tablespoon salt

·         1 tablespoon sesame

·         1 baking powder /2 teaspoons/

·         1 egg

·         1 dry active yeast 7g /0.2 oz/

Directions:

1.    Combine in a large bowl beer, oil, yeast and baking powder.

2.    Mix all and add sesame, salt and pour flour. Knead the dough for few minutes until it becomes smooth and doesn’t stick to the bowl.

3.    Do not rise the dough. Stretch it, and with a sharp knife cut the dough into stripes 1 cm /0.3 inches/ wide. Take the stripes and form into pretzels.

4.    Take a large greased baking sheet and place pretzels.

5.    Lightly beat 1 egg and brush on pretzels.

6.    Bake pretzels in the oven at 175 degree C /350 F/.

Vegetarian Beer Rolls

I made this recipe now for the first time. I tried it a couple of nights ago at my friends and I really liked it, although this recipe is my variation. The rolls are light and doesn’t take that much to bake them in the oven. The preparation is always longer than baking, but it’s worth it. Beer gives great taste to the dough and grated lemon gives a little sour taste. Filling with marmalade is a great contrast to beer taste, the mixture will surprise you. And than sprinkle with sugar, which gives perfect taste to the rolls. Beer rolls are nice for dessert or snack.  

Ingredients:

• Beer 250ml / 1.1 cups/
• All-purpose flour 7 cups
• Oil 200ml /0.8 cup/
• Grated lemon crust
• 1 Baking powder 12g /2 teaspoon/
• Marmalade 100g /3.5 oz/
• Powdered sugar 50g /1.7 oz/
• 1 dry active yeast 7g / 0.2 oz/

Directions:

1.    Combine in a large bowl oil, yeast, beer, baking powder, grated lemon, and flour.

2.    Mix everything well, and knead the dough until it gets smooth. The dough shouldn’t stick to a bowl.

3.    Divide and form the dough into few pieces. Cut each peace into 8 parts. Smear marmalade over each piece equally and roll the dough.

4.    Place rolls in an oiled baking tray and bake it in the oven at 390 degree for 25 min. Sprinkle rolls with sugar powder.
