Pistachio pretzels

Recipes Quick Meals Cakes and Desserts
A true classic pastry in a modern guise. Here, pistachio isn't just a topping but is worked into the dough itself, so the rich, oily aroma of the nut is felt in every bite. The brown sugar and egg glaze caramelises on the pretzel's surface during baking, filling the kitchen with a fantastic scent.

Instructions

1 ✓

Bloom the yeast in the lukewarm, sugary milk (approx. 10 minutes).

Tip: Bubbles indicate life.
2 ✓

Mix the flour with the salt, add the egg, butter, remaining sugar, and the yeasty milk. Knead together.

Tip: Egg yolk contains lecithin, a natural emulsifier, which makes the dough softer.
3 ✓

Knead in the chopped pistachios until evenly distributed.

Tip: Nut edges can cut the gluten network, so only work them in carefully at the end of kneading.
4 ✓

Prove for 1 hour. Shape into 12 pretzels, then prove again on the tray for 15 minutes.

Tip: The second rise (resting) is essential so the dough doesn't crack during baking but grows beautifully.
5 ✓

Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake at 180°C for 20-25 minutes.

Tip: The protein content of the egg gives shine, and the sugar caramelises. (Maillard reaction).

Recipe FAQ

Why prove twice?
The first rise serves to mature the dough, while the second (after shaping) restores the airiness we pressed out during shaping.
