I'm not even sure how possible that would be. What sets pretzels apart from other bread is treating them with a basic solution before baking (traditionally and commercially, they get dipped in lye, but at home it's more common to boil them in baking soda), which denatures the proteins on the surface in a way that makes them more readily undergo Maillard reactions, which is why they get such a brown crust. While gluten is not the only protein in glutinous bread, it is a major one, and I expect the replacement proteins in gluten-free dough might not behave the same way.

I should probably just look into it instead of speculating aimlessly, but where's the fun in that?

With a nice cheese sauce to dip them into, yes.

I should make some, it's been awhile. We just do sticks, not twisted ones.

This.

Most of us kind of prefer the slower pace here, and would rather it not just turn into CE Lite.





But yes, I do like soft pretzels.

I'll be the weird one and say no.

I'll eat one if offered to me, but not something I would ever seek out.

It's very odd that people complain bitterly that this place is dying while trying to run away users and topics simply because they're embittered by their own life choices.

There's a massive disparity between a soft pretzel that's bad and a soft pretzel that is well made.

When it is bad, it is basically just munching on weird bread. When it is well made it is heavenly.

This. There have always been other snack options that appeal more to me.

A quick search is finding a bunch of gluten-free pretzel recipes that still include the baking soda bath and are comparably browned to glutinous pretzels, so I guess gluten doesn't play a role in that browning. Hypothesis debunked.

Hell yes, they're awesome. I hate when it doesn't have enough salt though. With a nice mustard dipping sauce is even better.
How quaint.
