Week 41: Buns - Sourdough Discard Pretzel Buns
(lemmy.world)
Welcome to 52 weeks of theme-based baking! A new challenge each week of the year. This is a great way for beginners to learn, and for experienced bakers to expand their skill set and explore their creativity.
Pretzel buns are one of my favorite types. I usually make them rectangular if if using them for sandwiches though.
My recipe is also more like a Bavarian pretzel though, only flour, water, salt, and yeast or starter, not both. The flavor is also better with a lye bath instead of baking soda. It's a dead simple 50% hydration, so it easily scales.
Yours look very nice
