Mini chilli pretzels FAQ:

What is the baking time for mini chilli pretzels?

Bake the mini chilli pretzels in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Can I substitute bread flour with all-purpose flour?

Yes, you can use all-purpose flour instead of bread flour. However, the texture may be slightly softer and less chewy compared to using bread flour.

How should I store leftover mini chilli pretzels?

Store leftover mini chilli pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months.

How can I tell when the pretzels are done baking?

The pretzels are done when they are golden brown on the outside and firm to the touch. You can also insert a toothpick to check for any wet dough inside.

Can I make these pretzels without mustard?

Yes, if you want to omit the mustard, you can replace it with an equal amount of olive oil or another mild flavoring. This will change the flavor slightly, but they will still be delicious.

Tips:

- Make sure your water is warm, but not too hot, to properly activate the yeast for a good rise.

- Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic to ensure the pretzels have a chewy texture.

- When shaping the pretzels, roll the dough into even, thin ropes for consistent pretzel size and baking.

- Brush the pretzels with beaten egg before baking to give them a lovely golden-brown crust.

- If you prefer spicier pretzels, you can adjust the amount of chili powder to suit your taste.
