Last time I made them, I tried not rinsing one in the plain water. That made it even darker, but it also had a harsh taste, so do rinse it. I agree it seems a lot of sodium carbonate, but the more that dissolves in the water, the closer you get to acting like the lye bath. Also, don't dump it in all at once, or it becomes solid and will take a while to crush and dissolve into the water .Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17016570077229005110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019467093411714739.post-60155725239820079292014-02-08T18:45:17.501-06:002014-02-08T18:45:17.501-06:00Thank you very much for your pretzel experimentati...Thank you very much for your pretzel experimentation! My first attempt using the cold sodium carbonate bath turned out great and our friends from Bavaria were impressed. Unfortunately I didn't trust you completely - 100g in two cups of water seemed too much, so I used 100g in 6 cups of water. According to my expert guests they weren't dark enough, so next time, I'll stick to your recipe. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03030494303543606907noreply@blogger.com
