Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1.25 cups warm water
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups frozen mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 0.5 cup baking soda
- 4 cups hot water
- 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 0.75 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and granulated sugar. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
Add the melted butter, salt, and 3 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms, gradually adding the remaining flour as needed. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5–7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a damp towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, make the berry filling. In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries and honey. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the berries break down and the mixture thickens, about 8–10 minutes.
Dissolve the cornstarch in cold water and stir it into the berry mixture. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope, flatten it slightly, and fill the center with 1–2 teaspoons of the cooled berry filling. Pinch the edges together to seal, then shape into a pretzel.
In a large heatproof bowl, dissolve the baking soda in 4 cups of hot water. Dip each pretzel into the baking soda solution, then place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle each pretzel lightly with coarse sea salt, and bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the pretzels bake, make the icing. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Drizzle the icing over the warm pretzels and serve immediately. Enjoy your Oogely Bluegely Berry Pretzels!
