Delicious, buttery, homemade soft pretzels warm from the oven.

Ingredients
For the dough:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water
For the topping:
- 1 cup boiling water
- 2 tablespoons baking soda
- coarse salt
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
Instructions
- Combine all the dough ingredients in a large bowl and beat until well combined. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until soft and smooth.
- Flour the dough and place it in a bag or bowl, covered, to rest for 30 minutes.
- While the dough rests, make the topping. Combine the boiling water and baking soda in a medium bowl or large measuring cup, stirring until the soda is completely dissolved. Note: this mixture will overflow a one-cup measure, so a larger container is needed for mixing. Allow the soda-water mixture to sit and cool to room temperature while you proceed with the pretzels.
- Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet with either a light coat of oil or line it with parchment paper.
- Divide the dough into 8 pieces. Allow the dough to sit uncovered for 5 minutes.
- Pour the cooled soda-water into a 9” square pan.
- Roll each piece of dough into a long thin rope and twist each into a pretzel shape.
- Working with 4 pretzels at a time, place them into the soda-water. Spoon the water over the tops of the pretzels and leave them to sit in the water for 2 minutes.
- Remove with a slotted spoon or spatula and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with coarse kosher or pretzel salt.
- Allow the pretzels to rest, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
- Bake for 8-9 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove the pretzels from the oven and immediately brush with the melted butter. Continue brushing until all the butter is used.
- Serve warm with mustard or cheese sauce.
