Father Kit Cool Gun Garth Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 New product that appeared in our local as a BOGO [$3.00 for 2 pkgs] These guys are the best. Ann first used them as grilled cheese sandwiches and they literally melted in your mouth. These are so soft and delicious. Next she used them with hamburgers and the slight pretzel taste enhanced the sandwich. At breakfast, great with pecan apple butter spread. Try them... you won't be disappointed. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 These are very good when available - spotty here, small stores. There are these KING’S HAWAIIAN® Sweet Pretzel Pre-Sliced Slider Buns that are very similar, also in sporadic distribution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 Easy to make: Buttermilk Pretzel Bread For Bread: 6 Cups Bread Flour, divided 1 Cup Buttermilk 1 Cup Hot Water ¼ Cup + 2 TBS Brown Sugar Yeast 2 tsp Kosher Salt 1 Egg (from a chicken) For Poaching Liquid: About 3 quarts of water, ¼ cup Baking Soda, and ¼ cup Brown Sugar. 1 Egg for coating loaves. Proof yeast in hot water and 2 TBS of brown sugar. While yeast is proofing toast 1 to 2 cups of the flour in a dry skillet. Stir it frequently, you want it a light brown. Put the toasted flour, and all but 2 cups of the reserved flour into a mixing bowl along with the salt and brown sugar. Blend together with whisk or dough hook. Add the water & yeast, egg, and buttermilk. Using the dough hook of your mixer, mix this for 4 to 5 minutes then slowly add the remaining 2 cups of flour. Continue mixing with the dough hook until it pulls away from the sides of the bowl and forms a ball. Turn out and knead a few times until it forms a smooth ball. Put in greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled. In a large kettle or stock pot bring the poaching mixture to a boil. Heat oven to 350 F. Oil two sheet pans, line with parchment paper and then oil the paper. Divide the dough in half (obviously, divide dough into however many buns this would make. I suspect it will make at least 8 buns, but don't hold me to that), knead into two loaves buns. Put loaves buns, one at a time, into the poaching liquid. Simmer for 1 minute, then turn over and simmer for one more minute. Remove with slotted spatula, spoon, or whatever works. Place on pan and paint with egg wash, being sure to get the bottom of the loaf. Slash the top of the loaf 3 or 4 times – get fancy if you like. Bake for 45 min. Cool on rack. Enjoy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 My wife brought some of those buns home a while back. I had one. They’re good. The other 3 disappeared. My wife liked them more than I did, I guess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I make pretzel buns I will slice them about 1/4 to 1/3 the way up from the bottom, then remove a lot of the crumb from the top. That gives a better bun to filling ratio and keeps the sandwich from being ridiculously tall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 It was just speculation, but it appears FKGCG has a really large mouth. Atz a really TALL sandwich. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Zook Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 this on a pretzel bun is pretty darn tasty.... Use your choice of a sirloin, brisket or chuck burger patty grilled, then topped with peanut butter, bacon, grape jelly and Sriracha sauce with a side of regular Fries or Sweet Potato fries/tots... p.s.a. = wear a bib unless you go knife/fork method 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horace Walmart carries Pretzilla brand. After reading this thread I did a duckduckgo search. Went to brand website and found that Walmart carries them. My wife had placed an online grocery order earlier and it turned out she had a few minutes to add items. The buns were added to the order. The buns are great tasting and can hold up to the pressure holding & biting a thick burger with lots of mayo & catsup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
