For the super bowl this weekend, I want to make soft pretzels. I usually follow Alton Brown's recipe and love how they come out. However, I am going to a friend's house and I am trying to accompish as much as I can at home in advance. I have never tried to parbake anything and I'm not sure of the limitations. Could I bake them say, 5-10 min shy and then finish them off in the oven right before serving? Or will that affect the rise?
Am I better off just baking them all the way through and warming them back up in the oven?
The latter. Just warm them when you get there.
