I have some baking molds (for example, a challah bun mold) that I would like to use to make pretzel-ized buns . . . Should I form them into rough balls and place them into the water mix on only one side, and then place them into the mold with that side down? Or should I flip them? Should I place them in the pan immediately and bake them, or allow for a final rise prior to baking? There are only two of us (translation: taste testers/victims to the experiment), so any assistance would be appreciated!
