To use, allow the dough to come to room temperature. Shape the dough into your desired pretzel forms, ensuring they are evenly sized for consistent baking. For the classic pretzel appearance and taste, dip the shaped pretzels in a lye solution before baking. This step is crucial for developing the dark brown crust and distinctive flavor. Bake in a hot oven until golden brown and firm to the touch. Serve warm for the best experience.
