Ingredients
- 1 package Simply Homemade® Pretzel Creations™
- 3/4 cup very warm water (120º to 130ºF)
- 1 tablespoon Mazola® Corn Oil
Directions
Combine pretzel mix and yeast in a large mixing bowl. Stir in water and oil until thoroughly combined. (Dough may be stiff; use hands if desired).
Cover dough and let rise 25 minutes in a warm, draft-free place. (Dough will not double in size.)
Place dough on a clean, dry surface and divide into 24 equal pieces. Cover with a towel to prevent dough from drying. Roll each piece into a ball. Cover dough balls with a towel.
Preheat waffle iron. Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
Combine 6 cups water with baking soda in a large deep saucepan until water boils (mixture will be foamy). Using a slotted spoon or spatula, dip one pretzel ball at a time into the boiling water allowing pretzel to slide off spoon into the water. Boil for 10 to 15 seconds, then remove the pretzel and place on baking sheet. Continue with remaining pretzels. If desired, sprinkle with salt.
Transfer pretzel balls onto waffle iron and close lid (depending on the size of your waffle iron you should be able to cook 4 to 6 at a time). Cook for 4 to 6 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from waffle iron and let cool on wire rack.
