pretzel dough
Knot-shaped bread starter
Pretzel dough is a yeast-based bread dough distinguished by its brief bath in alkaline solution—traditionally lye, now often baking soda—before baking.
This step gives pretzels their characteristic dark, glossy crust and distinctive chewy-crisp texture.
The dough itself is fairly lean, with little fat or sugar: She twisted the pretzel dough into knots before the lye dip.
