To celebrate there is no need to go to Munich, enough to stock up on your favorite drink, good company and a number of the simplest and most popular snack in pubs.

simple pretzels

The most time-consuming recipe is a recipe from the list of pretzels, but do not worry, it, too, we have significantly simplified.

To prepare pretzels is necessary to dissolve the sugar and yeast in warm water and add to it a mixture of flour and salt. We decided to add a classic German Italian appetizer additives - olives, sun-dried tomatoes and dried rosemary. We put them at the very beginning of the preparation together with the flour.

Combining the solution with the yeast flour and additives, kneading the dough.

Rolling therefrom sausage diameter of about 5 cm. Cut sausage into 10 equal portions and, instead of messing around with for a long time modeling pretzels in the sight of which we are accustomed to eating pretzels, molding dough simple balls and leave them to go on half an hour.

As time passes, we put on the fire bowl with water, and as soon as the liquid comes to a boil, breed in it a little brown sugar and soda. Scald beads soda solution in full ascent to about a minute and then passed on to the parchment and put baked in a preheated oven to 230 degrees 13-15 minutes or until browning.

Onion rings

The second appetizer - the budget item on the menu of any pub - onion rings. Our will not only be washed down with a beer but also be prepared on its basis.

Cut the onion rings of about 5 mm thick, put the oil to heat up and begin to beer batter. For the preparation of the latter is enough to shake up the ice foam with flour, a generous portion of salt, dried thyme and ground paprika.

Lower the onion rings in batter with a fork, let surplus batter drip off, and then proceed to the roasting snacks fried until browning.

Cheese sticks

Many pet we have reserved for the final: cheese sticks in a crispy breading, which certainly should be served immediately after frying.

Cut into cubes favorite hard cheese, wedges, dip in beaten egg with milk and roll in breadcrumbs. We chose the spicy breading Lavash, which was prepared for zucchini fries. After the first layer of breading repeatedly dip sticks in egg and again roll in lavashnoy crumb. Repeated breading - a guarantee that all the cheese bar will be covered uniformly, and therefore, the melted cheese is drained out during roasting.

Heat oil, put it in his stick and cook a minute.

As a result, we get a lovely plate of beer, to which you can submit one (or more than one) of our three universal sauces or select your own favorite as dipa.
