Dough Preparation:

2. Knead until very elastic dough forms, about 8-10 minutes.

3. Transfer to a greased bowl and cover with damp cloth. Let rise inside the chiller for 20 minutes.

4. Cut the dough into 65 g per piece.

5. Roll into a 1-inch thick cane shape.

6. Cross cane-shaped dough to form a ribbon and put on a greased baking sheet.

7. Let rise for 35 minutes or until double in size.

8. Bake at 375ºF for 18-20 minutes.

For chocolate cinnamon flavor, add chocolate chips after kneading. Mix cinnamon and brown sugar in a separate bowl. Coat baked pretzel with cinnamon sugar mixture while warm.

For rustic pretzel, dissolve baking soda in hot water. Dip plain pretzel into soda solution before baking. Sprinkle with salt crystals.
