What is 'pan breaker'? To make a pretzel, a baker uses a pan breaker to spray slices of powder on the baking paper. Then the pretzel dough is put on the baking paper.
A 'pan breaker' is a term that seems to be a misinterpretation or mistranslation. It is possible that the correct term being referred to is 'pan greaser' or 'pan release spray.'
To make a pretzel, a baker typically uses a pan greaser or pan release spray to prevent the dough from sticking to the baking paper or pan. This spray usually contains oil or a combination of oil and flour, which creates a non-stick surface for the dough.
If you are looking to use a similar technique when making pretzels or any other baked goods, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by preheating your oven according to the recipe instructions.
2. Line your baking sheet or pan with a sheet of parchment paper.
3. Place the dough for the pretzels onto the parchment paper.
4. Next, lightly spray or brush a thin layer of oil onto the parchment paper. This will prevent the dough from sticking and make it easier to remove the pretzels after baking.
5. If you don't have a pan release spray, you can also use a cooking spray or brush a small amount of melted butter or vegetable oil onto the parchment paper.
By using a pan greaser or following these steps, the pretzels will be easier to handle and remove from the baking paper or pan once they are baked.
