Ingredients:

1/2 cup water
120g
1 tsp yeast
5g
1 tsp sugar
5g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
2 tsp mustard
10g
1 cup bread flour
150g
1 tsp salt
5g
1 egg
50g
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
7g
1 tsp chili powder
5g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Yeast Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the 1/2 cup of water (warm, not hot) with 1 tsp of yeast and 1 tsp of sugar. Stir to dissolve and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, until it becomes foamy. This indicates the yeast is active.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add 1 tbsp of olive oil and 2 tsp of mustard to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add 1 cup of bread flour and 1 tsp of salt into the wet mixture. Stir until a dough begins to form.
4. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a bit more flour, but be careful not to make it too dry.
5. First Rise: Place the dough back into the bowl, cover it with a clean cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
6. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
7. Form Pretzels: Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into small, equal-sized portions (about 12-15 pieces). Roll each piece into a thin rope and twist it into a pretzel shape.
8. Boil Pretzels (Optional): For a traditional pretzel texture, you can boil each pretzel in a mixture of baking soda and water for about 30 seconds. This step is optional but recommended.
9. Prepare Egg Wash: Whisk the egg in a small bowl. Brush each pretzel with the beaten egg to give them a shiny finish and help the toppings stick.
10. Season & Bake: Sprinkle the pretzels with 1 tbsp of grated parmesan cheese and 1 tsp of chili powder. Place the pretzels onto the prepared baking sheet.
11. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the pretzels are golden brown.
12. Cool & Serve: Allow the pretzels to cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your mini chilli pretzels!

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.

With their enticing blend of parmesan cheese and a hint of spice, mini chili pretzels are sure to be a hit at any gathering. Follow this recipe and the provided tips to bake perfectly soft, flavorful, and satisfying pretzels every time. Enjoy the unique combination of flavors and the joy of making homemade pretzels!
