Final Steps for Cutting & Shape Pretzel Dough

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Rachel for Expert Village. Now we are going to make a long snake and we just shape it into a pretzel shape. This dough does not even if it has yeast inside it does not need to rise. We are going to bake it right away not letting it sit and rise. You can see I'm making a pretzel shape and I'm just pressing both ends so it would not open during baking. After we finish shaping them, we are going to put them in the tray. We don't need to leave big space between each other cause they don't really rise too much. You don't want to put them too close cause you don't want them to stick together but you don't need a big space. There is different toppings that you can put on them one you have them in the pan. If you like this then sweet instead of the coarse, salt brush it with egg and put sugar on top. You can put sesame seed on top, you can leave it plain only brush it with the egg and put nothing on top."
