Description
Delightful Halloween-themed pretzel treats topped with sweet candy spiderwebs, perfect for family fun and festive gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups warm water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup baking soda
- Course sea salt for topping
- 1 cup white candy melts (or any color you prefer)
- Piping bag or a zipper bag with a small corner cut off for piping
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Allow the mixture to sit until foamy, about 5–10 minutes.
- Gradually mix in the flour and salt until combined. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5–7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 10–12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope, about 24 inches long, then twist into a pretzel shape.
- In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a boil and add ½ cup of baking soda. Carefully place the pretzels in the boiling water for about 30 seconds on each side.
- Transfer your pretzels to a greased baking sheet and sprinkle with course sea salt. Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- While the pretzels cool, melt the candy melts according to the package instructions. Once melted, transfer them to a piping bag and create spiderweb designs over the cooled pretzels. Allow the candy to set before serving.
