Sesame pretzels – notes
I found the recipe for these yeast Jerusalem pretzels in Sabina Francuz’s book “Flour and Water”.
The book is full of delicious and simple recipes for homemade bread – both yeast-based and sourdough. Many of them appealed to me, so I’m still baking from it.
The yeast pretzels were the first to be made.
They are made quickly and without major problems.
After baking, they are nicely fluffy and delicate inside.
And slightly sweet :)
My husband was the most surprised.
He prefers savory bread, but that didn’t stop him from making a sandwich with ham and cheese from this pretzel :)
A lot of olive oil is added to the dough, which makes the Jerusalem pretzels stay fresh longer and not dry out as much as homemade bread.
You can eat them plain – tearing off pieces, or spread with homemade jam, or like my husband – with ham.
It’s worth inviting children to bake – I think they’ll enjoy shaping the pretzels :)
