Brits Try To Make American Style Pretzels for the first time!

Brits Try Making American-Style Pretzels for the First Time (UK Kitchen)

We’re a British family tackling soft, salty, American-style pretzels from scratch — dough, twist, baking-soda boil, bake, and a big family taste test (plus a bonus cinnamon-sugar trial). Will we nail the iconic chew? Watch to the end for honest ratings, fixes we’d make next time, and a toddler cameo. 😄

What you’ll see

1) Fast dough: activate yeast → mix → short rest (no long proof)
2) Proper pretzel texture: boiling in water + baking soda before baking
3) Twisting technique (first-timer wins + funny fails)
4) Salty classic vs. cinnamon-sugar version (what we’d change)
5) Dips talk: beer cheese, nacho cheese, mustard — help us choose!

Warm water, active dry yeast, brown sugar, melted butter, plain flour, salt.
Boil: water + baking soda.
Finish: coarse/kosher salt (tray 1), cinnamon + sugars + butter (tray 2).

Family challenge & fun facts

We chat pretzel history and why Pennsylvania is pretzel-mad, compare our bake to theme-park pretzels, and rate both flavours. Tell us how you make them: lye vs. baking soda, egg wash vs. butter, and your favourite dip.
