Ingredients
  • Dough
  • Active sourdough starter: This is sourdough starter that has been fed 4 to 12 hours before starting the dough. It should be active and bubbly and pass the float test. This is when you take a small glass of water and add a dollop of sourdough starter. If it floats, it is ready to make these pretzel buns.
  • This recipe uses only the wild yeast in the sourdough starter to give the soft sourdough pretzel buns their rise - no commercial yeast required.
  • Water: Room temperature water
  • Sugar: Regular ol’ cane sugar
  • Butter: Unsalted and softened
  • Salt: Preferably sea salt or pink Himalayan salt
  • Unbleached all-purpose flour: You could also use bread flour.
  • Coarse salt for topping
  • Water Bath
  • Water
  • Baking soda: This gives the pretzel buns a really deep color and that classic pretzel flavor.
  • subheading: Tools you may need:
  • Stand mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoon or kitchen scale
  • Bench scraper
  • Parchment paper
  • Large bowl
  • Slotted spoon
  • Sheet pans
