Mastering the Convection Steam Oven

PREPARATION METHOD
1. In a small pan, heat the milk and butter until warm. 2. Pour the melted butter and milk into
the mixing bowl of a stand mixer. 3. Combine the rest of the dough ingredients and knead
on medium low speed until smooth, about 8 minutes. 4. Form into a ball, place in a greased
bowl, cover, and allow to rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size. 5. Preheat the convection
steam oven to 375°F on the Convection Steam Mode. 6. Combine the baking soda and water
in a large pot and bring to a boil. 7. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. 8. Gently roll each
piece of dough into a ball. 9. Place each ball of dough into the boiling solution. Allow to boil
for 2 minutes, turning the balls over after 1 minute. 10. Remove dough using a slotted spoon
and place on a plate. 11. Generously spray the perforated pan with cooking spray. 12. Evenly
space the 12 portions of dough on the pan. 13. Brush the rolls with the egg wash and score
the top of each bun with a sharp knife. 14. Sprinkle with coarse salt if desired. 15. Place the
pan into the preheated oven on rack position 2 and bake until the pretzels are well browned,
approximately 10-12 minutes.
PRETZEL BUNS
Pretzels are fun to make in the kitchen and are unique in that they are boiled
before they are baked. This pretzel dough recipe can also be used to make
pretzel knots, twists, or nuggets.
