⚠️ The Most Dangerous Part of the Bake (And How to Master It)
Hey bakers. Henry here.
Today we are tackling the alkaline bath. This is the most dangerous part of the bake, but it's also the exact step that makes this loaf a pretzel. If you've never done a pretzel bath before, I'm walking you through exactly how to execute it safely in our newest video.
I'll cover the essential rules, including why you must add your baking soda slowly from the edge of the pot to prevent a volcano-like eruption, the importance of leaving a 2 to 3-inch safety buffer in your pot, and why you need to match your loaf size to your pot.
Watch the video before you start, and don't forget to save and print the Alkaline Bath cheat sheet pinned at the top of the bake-along thread so you have it ready on your counter for Saturday morning.
Perfection is not required. Progress is.
Come bake with us!
