Hello Kevin & Chris -

I found this soft-pretzel recipe, courtesy of Beckla, while surfing the net. Haven't tried it myself though...let us know how it goes! :)

Beckla

By request - here's my soft pretzel recipe. Enjoy!

Soft Pretzels
This made 2 big ones
4 C sprouted wheat berries
1/2 C almond (soaked is best but I used unsoaked today and it was fine)
sea salt

Just use your coffee grinder (or appliance of choice) to grind up the wheat berries and then the almonds into a "dough". Sprinkle in some sea salt - to taste, but the more, admittedly, the more pretzely it'll taste. Shape into pretzel form on a teflex sheet. Then sprinkle the top with some coarsley ground sea salt.

Dehydrate at 135 for 2 hours or until firm on one side (but not hard - you want it soft inside!) and flip onto an unlined tray. Turn it down to 105 and dehydrate for another hour or so - until desired firmness.

I served it up with a quick honey/mustard dipping sauce. As an alternative, you might add some agave to the dough mix and some cinnamon and make a sweet pretzel.

Take care -

Seven.

I'd have to see this (and taste this) to believe it.

Beckla,

Your recipe looks great. I miss soft pretzels too. I am trying it!

I was going to suggestion a recipe like Alissa Cohens Bagel Rye Bagel recipe (if you only dehydrate them until they are still soft in the middle they would make a great pretzel ) and use a different grain but Becklas recipe sounds great!

Follow my petit pain recipe, make thinner strands of the bread and dry until crunchy. You can also brush the top of the bread with sesame oil mixed with a little agave and sea salt.
