Homemade Soft Pretzels! Hilah Cooking

The soft synth in the background is that extra special touch.

For real fans, Video Bests: * Best physics/chemistry moment in a Hilah video: 2:42 full on PBS. * Best history of stuff moment. "Prairie Soap." (listen carefully for that.) *Best existential / time travel moment in a Hilah video 8:24 - 7 little words... explains the universe. *Best throwback... the Easy Tiger episode of "Hilah's Texas Kitchen" was outstanding... a Beer fest. * Best new word created by Chef Baby: Beck'uhl? Ahhhggggh! :-)

omg you are my favorite I love pretzels this is the best recipe I've seen yet

[@YummyLummyBlog]

Love the hand actions on what soft pretzels are like Hilah 😂

[@AussieAngeS]

Absolutely love these pretzels Hilah, they look fabulous.

[@Shelly_W]

OMG Flint is growing SO FAST!!! He's absolutely beautiful!!

[@kamelsr]

BTW I love the tip on raising the ph level of the baking soda

[@hilahcooking]

+Kevin Liddle isn't that neat! I love kitchen chemistry

[@jayisoldem56]

Always a thumbs up for you Hilah!!! Your polka music just had me laughing and laughing. Thank you

[@rogiba]

Hilah, these look amazing! I can't wait to try making these!

[@KillaCommieFerMommie]

Wow... I used to love getting these in the mall... Haven't seen em around in years.

[@hilahcooking]

+KillaCommieFerMommie totally! Mall pretzels!

[@juancena1259]

I was skeptical about the 2 whole teaspoons of salt you're to add to the dough, but I trusted it wasn't a typo or something and I'm glad I did! After making it I taste that it was the right amount of salt, it makes them so savory. BUT THEY ARE TOOO DELICIOUS. This is my new pretzel recipe. Thanks for sharing, Hilah! I also really enjoyed your piece with Easy Tiger... It's on the other side of the country from me but it seems like the place to drink a beer and eat a giant pretzel.

[@hilahcooking]

+Olivia Linden excellent! 😊

[@hilahcooking]

What do you like to eat your soft pretzels with?

[@chrissharpefilm]

BEER!

[@hilahcooking]

Best answer ;)

[@rachellwhelan]

Hilah Cooking Mustard of any kind! Grainy, yellow, honey, Dijon, all mustards mix well with pretzels for me.

[@hilahcooking]

+rockwalrus yes! I like grainy and honey mustard to alternate bites 😋

[@Metalpug79]

Hilah Cooking I'm simple.. I like plain ole yellow mustard, or a nice melted cheddar cheese dip! Damn, now i need to make me some pretzels! Awesome video, Hilah!

[@sockhawk4675]

I'm in a place without Auntie Anne's :(..... You probably just saved my life!

[@gozawoz]

"..like a boner in the morn"?! OMG I almost choked on my lemonade!! Hilah you make me giggle like a little girl! You're truly a gas.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Those look great! I love warm soft pretzels, and I could tell from your reaction that the pimento cheese went super with them!

[@daltonmarcellus8702]

i guess I am kind of randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to watch newly released movies online?

[@kairokabir9696]

@Dalton Marcellus i would suggest flixzone. Just search on google for it =)

[@coltensamir7687]

@Kairo Kabir yup, I have been using FlixZone for months myself :)

[@daltonmarcellus8702]

@Kairo Kabir thank you, I went there and it seems to work :) Appreciate it !!

[@kairokabir9696]

@Dalton Marcellus happy to help :D

[@ohhclaare]

Mmmm soft pretzels with dipping chocolate... Btw love your top, Hilah!

[@kamelsr]

Just a little bit of Sun Hilah? Oh and the pretzels look delicious.

[@Anonymoose]

And here I thought they were hard to make! This is even easier than making pizza dough, and if my yeast isn't out of date and dead, I'ma gunna make a batch of these tomorrow! I stopped buying all purpose flour a few years ago. I just use bread flour for everything. Well... nobody told me I couldn't... LOL

[@EM-cc5rx]

They look so good I will try to make some thanks for posting this.Video

[@hilahcooking]

Enjoy!

[@majito6006]

The music en This video!! LOL

[@MahoganyRaven]

I just got done baking, I made some mini baguettes. I made soft pretzels a month ago as well. They were so good, I was surprised because it was my first time making them.

[@hilahcooking]

Right? I was surprised how easy they really are

[@Arbie812]

I'm European and I cook with measuring cups imported from relatives living in NA! It's just so much more convenient than having to bust a scale out for every little thing.

[@hilahcooking]

+Arbie8327 thanks! That's interesting.

[@jvanness90]

I've tried making soft pretzels so many times with very little success. I'm gonna try this recipe tomorrow and see how it goes. You've yet to steer me wrong on a recipe. I also love that these are egg-free with no alterations as my niece (who I'll be making this with) is highly allergic.

[@hilahcooking]

Hope y'all have fun making these!

[@jvanness90]

We made them on saturday and it went perfect. They were absolutely delicious and a huge hit with the whole family. I'm putting these in my recipe book permanently.

[@carinapalafox1248]

Omg hilah! chef baby is so big! the last time I remember him he was sitting in his high chair with short hair getting his first teeth in and now he's talking! wow he's so cute! ! love his hair

[@hilahcooking]

+Carina Palafox isn't it crazy how he's such a little kid now?!? I'm like 🤔

[@ellendula9079]

I don't know which one I like better, the pretzels or your shirt!!

[@hilahcooking]

+Ellen Dula they're both pretty great 😆

[@dookieyo706]

great show as usual.

[@JustinPhvn]

Yum! I will try them and send you a picture of the results!

[@hilahcooking]

I would love that! :D

[@T.A.G.1]

Man that background beat was funky! You must have had chef baby on the turntables

[@lorieivanoff6778]

Thank You so much for sharing your recipes with everyone around the world. Oh my the pretzels are so delicious.. I have already ate 3 today, & just made them too. How do you roll them up? I have a problem doing that. Everything else I do well. Please help me when you have time. Thank You in advance

[@vzmkitty]

Those look great! I remember making pretzels in middle school home ec but I don't think we did a bath. Maybe egg wash? Also WOW Chef Baby is now Chef Toddler and super cute.

[@hilahcooking]

+Veronika McDonald King wow that seems so advanced for home ec! All we did was make a casserole from canned crescent rolls and a tube of breakfast sausage 😂

[@ronholland540]

PB and pretzels yum!

[@BigDaddyEats]

Oh goodness!!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 they look sooo delicious 😝

[@agcons]

By heating bicarbonate of soda you eventually convert it to sodium carbonate -- or washing soda. It crisps your pretzels and boosts your laundry detergent, too!

[@hilahcooking]

+agcons cool! Thanks!

[@rachelsweets]

Looks so good thx doll

[@happycats4864]

Hi Hilah me and my mom get inspired bye your stuff and your such a great cook bye😊👍👍

[@ASHUTOSHKUMAR-vf8ip]

Hi, Hilah. Those pretzels look delicious, perfect for snacking. I am definitely going to try it. What do you love about having a huge fan base? Have a good weekend, Hilah.

[@hilahcooking]

+OnTheFence yeah! Good idea

[@diwansinghkunwar6249]

Very nice 👍

[@KusumLata-sp8tk]

Good

[@TheRealJoeyB]

Hey Gorgeous Hila, where did you get the clear bowl? Thx, Ned Dallas, TX

[@hilahcooking]

Hey! I ordered it online at the kitchenaid website

[@TheRealJoeyB]

Off to the above mentioned site. Thanks for responding.... you made the day so cool for me!!

[@AJRelaxesWith...]

[@helpfulnatural]

These look fantastic Hilah! You make cooking so much fun! Chef Baby is so big now....and all that wavy blonde hair! What a cutie!! :)

[@realdrtommurray]

When you think it can't happen, Chef Baby gets cuter every show!

[@ned993]

Is it alright to use all-purpose flour instead of bread flour? It's either not sold or super expensive where I live.

[@hilahcooking]

+ned993 it will still work but won't be as chewy

[@ned993]

Hilah Cooking I see, thanks for replying.

[@rockon4863]

Cool

[@rustyford73]

Just tried these but dough was to sticky.... hmmmm Can you post an actual ingredients with quantities of each. Yours looked much better than mine

[@atoundingasymmetry]

Hey Hilah

[@ingridgutt1810]

mustard is good on them

[@diresalope]

I'm weirdly amazed to find out that pretzels were dipped in lye. I just though they were boiled then baked.

[@hilahcooking]

+rsss I know it seems so crazy

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

These look great! But, as a soapmaker who works with lye every day, I have to add a disclaimer to this video! First of all, I've done no research on lye as it relates to pretzelmaking, but I have to say that extreme caution should always be used when working with lye and protective equipment, including gloves, should ALWAYS be used when working with lye. If you had dipped your bare hands into lye water, you would have bought yourself a trip to the emergency room with extreme burns. I don't know what baking the baking soda does in terms of exact pH changes, but I'd advise anyone to use caution when working with possibly caustic chemicals. That's all! As an ICU nurse and soap maker, I couldn't NOT say anything! Now, on to the pretzelmaking I go!

[@hilahcooking]

+nickasarbata Thanks! I was half expecting a comment that I was being overly cautious to recommend something besides lye. Vindicated!!! But the baking soda is safe enough for bare hands, I think. At least my bare hands aren't really bothered

[@ShakanyaandSaathana]

lol the ending!

[@seannperryman]

is that a new kitcheb

[@hilahcooking]

+Sean Perryman we moved a year ago
