Method

Pretzel Preparation

1

Make the Dough

In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy. Stir in the salt and flour until a dough forms.

2

Knead and Rise

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

3

Shape the Pretzels

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope and twist into a pretzel shape.

4

Boil and Bake

In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water and baking soda to a boil. Boil each pretzel for 30 seconds, then remove and place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.

Sausage & Cheese Serving

5

Prepare Sausage

Grill or pan-fry the Zwyczajna Polish sausages until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.

6

Plate the Dish

Arrange the pretzels, grilled sausages, artisanal cheese, and grapes on a large serving platter. Serve with mustard on the side.
