Oh please share the results! I bet it works perfectly.

I did the sourdough experiment. The ingredient quantities were fairly improvised because of the runny starter. I am typically improvisational when making breads so that was no problem. My sourdough is a bit soft and the dough behaved unexpectedly in the lye. But the pretzels smelled exactly right and I am enjoying one right now!

(I have a Wonder Oven so that pan is quite small–just so you don’t think I made the world’s largest pretzels )

That’s exactly what I thought at first. They look delicious, no matter their size!

Amazing! They look fantastic! Do you make you sourdough on a wheat or on a rye base?

[stirlingarts (Diana)]

Mine actually uses instant potatoes as the base. I have occasionally added a little wheat flour.
