All right, welcome to the bakery. So, now that we've got our aprons on and we've washed our hands, it's time to start MIXING THE DOUGH.
[screaming] I'M SO EXCITED. WHAT'S THIS? This is a giant mixer. You can mix hundreds of pounds of dough in there. And this is the biggest ONE I'VE EVER SEEN. YEAH, me too. How do we get started? So, the first thing we need is flour and I'm talking about a lot of flour. How much flour? Well, this is a 50-lb bag. Could you help me LIFT IT? YEAH, HE'S [screaming] GOT IT. HE'S STRONG. THIS IS A LOT OF FLOUR.
HEAVY? UH, YEAH. I can barely lift it. Well, now you just pour it right into the mixer. The whole thing? Oh, yeah. Oh, looks like we need to open it. Oh, yeah. I'll use this knife up here. And remember, only grown-ups can use knives. Yeah. Okay, careful with the knife. Okay, there we go. All right. Is that enough? I think so. Ready? WOW! YEAH! IT LOOKS LIKE SNOW. WOW! It's so light and fluffy. Oh, good job.
You got to make sure you shake out the rest. Oh, YOU WANT TO SHAKE IT? SHAKE IT. THERE YOU GO. SHAKE, SHAKE, SHAKE. All right, great job. So, now that we have the flour in, we've got the rest of our dry ingredients over here. Oh. So, first we're going to put in some salt. Oh. Ooh, salt. Have you ever had salt before? IT'S SO SALTY. THAT'S RIGHT. You want to put it in, Mika? Sure. Okay. go. Wow! Awesome. Great job. Now we need a little bit of the malt barley. Ooh, malt barley. What's this for? That's like sugar. It adds to the sweetness of the pretzel.
Oh, yeah. You can pour that in. Aw, thanks, Mika. Okay, here we go. Malt barley. Wow! Really good job. Really good job on the malt barley. Now, we don't want flat pretzels. We want fluffy, fluffy pretzels. So, we need to put a little yeast in the mix. Yeast? Yeah. Okay, ready? We'll do it together? Sure. Okay. 3 2 1 Yeah! There we go. Really nice. Now, we want the pretzels to be a little buttery, too. So, Oh, yeah. Throw in the butter. Here, you do this one. Oh, yeah. Thank you. Oh, watch. Okay, here we go. BYE, BUTTER. YEAH! WOW, this is fun.

POUR THAT INTO THE DOUGH. WOAH! THAT'S HEAVY. HERE WE GO. LOOK AT THAT. NICE. IT'S LIKE A WATERFALL. ALL RIGHT. WOW. All of our ingredients are in the dough and now it's time to mix it up. Who wants to hit the button? Oh, CAN I DO IT?
YEAH. ALL RIGHT. I'M READY. ALL RIGHT, JUST HIT THIS button right here. Okay, you count down with me? All right, ready? Yeah. Three, two, ONE. Now we let the dough rise right here. Uh-huh. And while it's rising, doesn't it feel really nice? Yeah, it's really squishy and kind of soft. Yeah, kind of feels like a waterbed for my hands. Ooh. It does FEEL LIKE A WATERBED. WOAH! WOW. WOAH! WOAH. Now we want to separate the dough into pieces to make pretzels.
Okay, how do we do that? So rip off a piece. Okay, how big? About this size? oz. Okay. Perfect. Oh, that's a perfect one. Wow. Okay, so the size of a baseball? Yeah, there you go. Like a baseball size. Is mine too big? That's perfect. Really? Do you like your pretzels big? Yeah. You can TO A NICE BIG PRETZEL. AND NOW PUT YOUR PRETZEL ball right here and we'll let it rise.

Um probably enough time for a dance break. Oh, yeah. LET'S DO IT. WOO! YEAH. PRETZEL, PRETZEL. Pretzel rise. [screaming] YOU KNOW WHAT PRETZELS DO? WHAT? THEY TWIST. OH! YEAH, THAT'S THE PRETZEL RISE. THAT'S THE pretzel twist. Yeah. Are they rising yet? Oh, yeah. Oh, looks like they have. You'll see they'll start to become really smooth and then I think it's time. Should we start? Yes. Well, take your pretzel ball and we're going to start to roll it into a like a snake.

SHAPPY PRETZEL. YEAH, GOOD JOB. Thank you. All right, it's time for these pretzels to take a bath. TAKE A BATH? WHAT? WHY? THAT'S RIGHT. YOU HAVE TO DIP the pretzels into a baking soda bath, and that's what makes the pretzels really shiny and brown, and that's what gives THEM THEIR FLAVOR. SO TAKE A FEW PRETZELS.
Can I do this one? Yeah. Okay, here we go. All right, enjoy your bath. Definitely the most fun BATH TIME I'VE HAD. ALL RIGHT, NOW IT'S TIME to take them out. Take them out nice and carefully, shake off the water, and put them back on the tray. They don't need a towel to dry off? These pretzels air dry. And in Philly, our pretzels touch, like that. Oh, so squish them together like this? It's like THEY'RE HOLDING HANDS. AW, all these pretzel friends.
All right, the last thing we have to do before we put these pretzels in the oven is to salt them. OOH. GOT TO HAVE SOME PRETZEL SALT ON YOUR PRETZELS. YEAH. SO, STICK YOUR hand in and just pinch it all over the pretzels. Oh, it looks like snow. Yeah. Woah, nice. Woo. It's raining salt. Yeah.

All right, now we close up the oven. Okay, LIKE THIS? BYE-BYE, PRETZELS. AND HIT THAT BUTTON. YOU WANT TO HIT THE BUTTON? SURE. WOAH. NOW IT'S TIME FOR THE PRETZELS TO BAKE. OH, HOW LONG DO THEY HAVE TO BAKE? About 15 minutes.
All right, time to be patient. I think they're ready. Really? Yes. Oh, I was hoping you were going to say that. ALL RIGHT. OOH, THEY LOOK DELICIOUS. So hot. Careful. Let's bring them over here. Okay. Look at that. Do you think these are ready now? I think these are ready. Are you guys still hungry? Uh, I could eat a little right now. Oh, yeah. Can't ever say no to a pretzel.
