Sourdough pretzels and buns out of the oven

Lisa and I were home all day with colds. Great opportunity to make sourdough since the process can span an entire day. During the Covid shutdown I was part of a baking collective (very East Austin) and sold a dozen pretzels a week. I donated the money to Integral Care (very East Austin). These above are 50% whole grain spelt. I like to buy AP and bread flour from King Arthur, but specialty grains from Central Milling. If we were still in Austin I’d pick up a bag of Barton Springs Mills flour, but with shipping, it’s crazy expensive (~$5/lb). That’s one thing I miss about Austin, ok two things, if we include HEB bbq sandwiches.
