I hated working with lye at the university, I hate working with lye at home, but sometimes it’s just worth it. Made a big batch of dough and didn’t know which shape to chose, so I had a bit of fun with it and tried some new things like those twisted rings, that are inspired by Simit, and bagels. The hardest part is choosing what to eat first.

If you’re going to deal with a lye bath, this is exactly the result you want.
That color is bakery level perfection. Beautiful variety of shapes.
Lye is the key! These look properly amazing, giving you a gold star from Germany.
Great job! Please tell me you have some spicy mustard or beer cheese for these.
