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.

cup the hand.

A pretzel is a type of baked
bread product made from
dough most commonly found in
a unique knot-like shape.
Pretzels originated in Europe.
The traditional pretzel shape is
a distinctive symmetrical looped
form, with the ends of a long
strip of dough intertwined then,
twisted back into itself in a
certain way ("a pretzel loop").
Now, pretzels of various shapes
are available around the world.
Pretzels are often seasoned
and flavored with various salts,
sugars or other various seeds
or nuts

A bagel is a bread product,
traditionally shaped by hand into
the form of a ring from yeasted
wheat dough, roughly hand-
sized, which is first boiled for a
short time in water and then
baked. The result is a dense,
chewy, doughy interior with a
browned and sometimes crisp
exterior.
Often tossed in poppy or
sesame seeds. Some may have
salt sprinkled on their surface.
