Use of Dusting Flour
• May use light rye flour or bread flour to prevent
the dough from sticking to the bench and hands.
• Use as little dusting flour as possible.
• Excessive flour makes seams difficult to seal
and shows up as streaks in the baked product.

a tight circle on the workbench.
• As the ball of dough takes on a round shape, gradually
cup the hand.

except for a slight pucker on the bottom.

bread product made from
dough most commonly found in
a unique knot-like shape.

twisted back into itself in a
certain way ("a pretzel loop").

traditionally shaped by hand into
the form of a ring from yeasted

short time in water and then
baked. The result is a dense,

browned and sometimes crisp
exterior.
Often tossed in poppy or
sesame seeds. Some may have
salt sprinkled on their surface.
