The most excellent big fat soft salty pretzel formula? I feel like Bavarian pretzels are a little harder that what I am seeking. Thank you in advance for your kindness.
I have been making pretzel rolls for a long time. Just like your pizza, I've updated my recipe until I have it just right. Try this formula and you will not be disappointed. Just make them into pretzels instead of rolls. You must use food-grade lye to get the real, authentic pretzel flavor and color. https://mookielovesbread.com/2021/10/31/sour-dough-pretzel-rolls-2021/
You can substitute bread flour for the First clear or if you want all of the flour.

Those would be Philadelphia style pretzels, wouldn't they? Here's one recipe (not tried by me) -

Ah the memories of the push cart kinish/ pretzel 🥨 man. If you had no coin you could get a shake of salt for free!
I found this really quick formula from Ms. Sally. This will be perfect for my purpose. I am thinking to add a Bulk fermentation.

I am not to worried about real lye. I just want a fun family project.
I have read about people using twice baked baking soda and it will come close to what you get with Lye. Just double check it's soda and not powder :).
By a coincidence, this was on our dinnertime playlist tonight - sorry couldn't resist! Interesting spelling, btw.
Rikki - don't lose that number.
