Why are pretzels dipped in lye? 🥨Authentic German pretzels are briefly dipped in a lye bath, or sodium hydroxide. 🛁Accelerating the Maillard Reaction 🏎️This creates a highly alkaline environment for the dough and accelerates the Maillard reaction on the surface, or browning. Providing The Iconic Characteristics 🥨Lye breaks down the amino acids and starches into smaller particles, giving pretzels that deep brown color, chewy rich texture, and glossy shine. ☀️Safety is VERY Important 🥽There are safety measures to take when working with food grade lye. Eye protection and rubber or latex gloves are a must! We also recommend long sleeves to cover your arms. After treating your pretzels, dispose of the lye solution slowly and carefully down the drain of your sink. Bottom line: Do you need to use lye for your pretzels? 🤔While lye will yield you the most ideal results for pretzels, it’s not required! You can also dip your pretzels in a baking soda bath and finish with egg wash.
