−	~~Mmmm~~, ~~chewy~~....	+	=== New york style pretzels ===
		+
		+	==== Ingredients ====
		+
		+	* 500g strong white bread flour
		+	* 7g fast acting yeast (I use this [http://www.amazon.co.uk/Allinson-Dried-Active-Yeast-Pack/dp/B0062KH98S/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1335275292&sr=8-2-fkmr0 dried active yeast]).
		+	* 7g Salt (tsp or so)
		+	* 50g butter
		+	* 300ml milk
		+	* 25g dark muscovado sugar or other brown sugar
		+
		+	==== Method ====
		+
		+	In a bowl mix the flour, sugar, yeast and salt.
		+
		+	In a small pan melt the butter, once melted add the milk and heat until just warm.
		+
		+	If you're kneading by hand make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the liquid, mixing until you get a firm dough. Knead until nice and elastic.
		+
		+	Or, with a dough hook on and the mixer running slowly add the milk/butter to the ingredients and mix for 5 minutes.
		+
		+	Put in a greased bowl, cover with greased cling film and leave to double in size for an hour or so.
