What blessing is recited over dough that is boiled and then baked
Question
Hello, I wanted to ask what blessing is recited over pretzels, which are dough balls that are boiled in boiling water for 15-20 minutes and then baked in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
Answer
Hello
It is considered as complete bread.
Washing of hands is required, as well as the blessing of 'Hamotzi' and the Grace After Meals.
