German brezel enthusiast here! Glad to see these on the real deal cooking channel!
Some advice for working with real lye (sodium hydroxide, not bicarb or any other):

- (EDIT) Protect your eyes! Read up on the safety information and make sure you have food grade lye/sodium hydroxide
- (EDIT) Make sure you are using the correct concentration of lye: 3%-5% (follow Brunos recipe)
- Lye and fat, either from your skin or oiled cutting boards or fatty dough, will react to form soap and it will leave nasty (sometimes permanent) stains!
- Drops of lye on parchment paper will concentrate in the oven heat and burn through the parchment (silicon baking mats work well)!
- Don't use lye on aluminum baking sheets as they are very reactive together - sodium hydroxide + aluminum particles + water = classic chemical drain cleaner (for real, look it up!)

I have watched your videos for so many years I cannot remember and you have never failed at perfection! Incroyable!

To boil the pretzel buns you can just use 1 part baking soda to 10 parts water. That is what I do when I make soft pretzels from scratch, which I do pretty often, and it comes out great.

J'adore vos recettes et votre façon de cuisiner
Dommage que je ne comprenne pas l'anglais pour comprendre tout ce que vous dites mais ça ne m'empêche pas de regarder vos vidéos toujours avec le grand plaisir

Outstanding. That burger looks insane.

à mon avis (amical) ... le " bad boy " c'est Bruno - mais chuuut !

Hands down, the most skilled chef on the planet. I say this as a very old woman who has watched many great chefs over the years & had the joy of eating some incredible food. (Plus I think he's hot, so to speak 🤭!! )

I'm from Brooklyn and never heard of them or seen them till I came to the south. Hard to find baguettes ..thanks to you had to.make my own..and had to make my own bagels as well..But I will buy those pretzel rolls after seeing this.
I watched Julia Child as a child and enjoy your erudition regarding every dish dessert and sauce.

Thanks for this, I love pretzel buns but I have issues digesting commercial American flour. Do fine with Italian flour, for w/e reason, so this helps me get my pretzel fix without regretting it almost immediately.

i use Sodium bicarbonate and water for the brown color

[punishernk]

Love the recipe, guides lines and explication are perfectly clear!

[GregCurtin]

Thank you Chef Bruno, that was an amazingly well detailed video recipe.

Use baking soda instead of lye. Much safer. Little difference.

[julienbreton-otxl]

Belle recette...pensez-vous proposer celle des bagels prochainement ?

[lindaang]

Chef, may a ask about your Kenwood mixer, are u using the 5qt or 7 qt one?

[princesse]

Miam merci beaucoup ! J'imagine que c'est la même pâte pour faire les bretzels ?
