Before we had made some Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels, it was a huge success and did not last a day in our kitchen, today we had those cravings again so we will be making some pretzels but with a slight variation and use Almond toffee as the flavour. This was inspired by the almond toffee of Auntie Anne’s its soft and chewy it’s everything you want in a pretzel.
Ingredients
5 cups flour
1 1/2 cup soft brown sugar
4 tsp active dry yeast
1 tsp white sugar
1 1/4 cups water, warm
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp butter + some for topping, melted
1/4 cup baking soda
2 cups water, hot
1 cup roughly chopped almonds
butter
Method
1. In a bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 tsp white sugar in warm water, set aside for 15 minutes.
2. In a separate bowl combine flour, 1/2 cup soft brown sugar, and salt. Make a well in the centre the then pour the yeast mixture and the melted butter. Using hand, mix until it forms a dough, remove from bowl then knead until dough is smooth. Place in a lightly greased bowl then cover with plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place for about an hour.
3. Divide the dough into 12 pieces then in a non-stick surface (not floured it will be hard to work out in a floured surface) roll each dough into a long rope and form it into a pretzel shape. Set aside.
4. In a bowl add baking soda and hot water.
5. Mix together 1 cup soft brown sugar and almonds then place on a large plate.
6. Dip each pretzel shaped dough in the baking soda solution.
7. Drench pretzels in almond sugar mixture then place in a lightly greased baking pan.
8. Bake in a 220C preheated oven for 8 minutes.
9. Remove from oven, spread some butter on top then serve.

Those look delicious.
Those pretzels are something that everyone would love.
Divine! (I admit it: I’ve had those at Auntie Anne’s. I try not to eat chain stuff and seldom do. But sometimes one finds oneself in an airport and it seems the best of a lot of bad options.)
three things I adore- almonds, pretzels, and most of all TOFFEE! My teeth might not like toffee, but I sure love it!
WOW – these look SO VERY GOOD! Huge fan of almond toffee, actually – anything toffee; therefore, these pretzels sound fabulous!
This is a delicious treat and with almond toffee… it’s even better. I’ll have this with a cup of tea. Have a good weekend, Raymund!
Wow! I’m so impressed you made them from scratch! Great flavour combo too I thought.
