I tried making pretzel balls. Karen over at Oxheart makes lovely ones but we do not go out to eat very often. i thought I would give it a go. I used the Zingerman's recipe except I used sourdough instead of yeast, brown sugar instead of barley malt.
I did let them over rise in the refrigerator. Life got away from me. But basically, they were not to my taste. Much to salty! They are not bad in soup that needs salt or when Small Mister needs to gnaw on something with his seven teeth.
Back to the drawing board.
