Used the king Arthur recipe but did a 4% lye bath. Came out crunchy, chewy, and soft at the same time. Learned to oil the parchment, or at least drain them on a rack prior to parchment as the lye water made them want to marry the paper forever.

These look gorgeous! Really want to make pretzels soon, but not having lye on hand stops me every time
My fav!!! ILL TAKE 50
Nicely done! Looks like you nailed both the shaping and the bake.
Looks dope
Those look awesome!!
I used the silicone baking mats when I make pretzels. No worry of sticking. I had to do surgery one time to get the pretzels off of the parchment paper.
Gorgeous!
They look good.
Stupid question please, how do you go 4% lye bath? Like 4ml lye that you get from shops + 95 ml water?
Nice work. Good color and shape. Love the fermentation blisters. A pleasure to look at.
