Experiment 7 - The Selection

Back to Wednesday for the selection.  But I already know that cooking on Saturday might not be happening, due to work commitments.  Can't say for sure, but the following recipe might not be attempted until Sunday.  It'll be worth the wait though, because this weeks selection is ...

Philadelphia Soft Pretzels

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup gluten flour [it says here this is sold in health food stores]
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup tepid water
1 package yeast, dissolved in 1/3 cup tepid (105 degrees) water with 1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons baking soda
1/2 - 1 tablespoon coarse salt, depending on taste

It's not called out in the ingredients list, but the baking instructions call for the baking sheet to be lightly dusted with cornmeal, so I'll have to add that to my shopping list.

This weeks recipe is once again from the Hartford Courant, it's an undated clipping from a column called "A taste of America", written by Jane and Michael Stern.  This is the second recipe in a couple weeks calling for kneading and raising dough.  I might consider using the dough hook in the KitchenAid this time.  I think I'd better find the gluten flour first.
