Pilatzo Parmesan Hot Pretzels
 

**see how-to photos below recipe



Have on hand:
Electric Mixer
4 large paper bags

Heat on stove until warm on wrist; stir often:
3 cups low fat milk
1/2 cup white sugar
4 TBS olive oil
3 tsp. salt

Mix:
5 cups white flour
2 packages fresh dry yeast
Handful dried chopped parsley

Mix with hand mixer:
Hot liquid
Dry ingredients

Add by hand until smooth & elastic:
3-4 cups white flour

Place dough in a greased bowl, spray the top with Pam & cover with moist cloth to rise 1 hours.

1 hour later when dough is high and risen:

Fill very large pot with water, & set to boil.

Beat:
2 Egg whites with a bit of water

Mix:
Approximately 1 cup fresh ground parmesan cheese [Cheese Trader's is great]
3 TBS Ground sea salt/rock salt, or to taste
small handful dried chopped parsley

Punch down dough. Roll out into a rectangle. Cut into 3/4" strips. Tie each in 1-2 [shoelace like] knots, handling gently so that dough doesn't lose it's oomph. If they need more than 2-3 knots, cut them in half for smaller pretzels. Place them on a tray near the stove where it's warm to rise again as you are knotting the others.

Preheat Oven to 350

Drop 4-5 into the boiling water at a time. They will puff up right away. Boil for 3 minutes or so, turning them over halfway through. Place on paper bags to drip dry and cool just enough to touch.

Place pretzels on greased cookie sheets. Spread egg whites over them & sprinkle parmesan mix liberally over the top. Bake 25-35 minutes until lightly golden. Rotate in oven to keep cooking even. Yummy!

Bake to heat anytime - don't microwave because it will make them soggy. These are a great mid-morning snack.
