Cooking Time: 10-12 minutesPreperation Time: 20 minutes

Dough Mixing

In a large mixing bowl, combine 20 grams of wheat flour, less than 1 gram of sugar, malt, and yeast. Mix well. In a separate bowl, dilute 1 gram of salt in a small amount of warm water and add it to the flour mixture along with approximately 1 gram of vegetable oil. Knead the mixture until it forms a smooth, pliable dough.

Dough Shaping

Divide the dough into equal portions, depending on the desired size of the pretzel sticks. Roll each portion into a long, thin strand. Place these strands on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they do not touch.

Baking

Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crisp. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Cooling and Serving

Allow the pretzel sticks to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, they can be served plain or with your favorite dips.
