Ingredients
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups warm water about 110 degrees
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup bread flour may use all-purpose
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups hot water
- 2 tablespoons baking soda
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- kosher salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the yeast, sugar, and warm water. Let sit for 10 minutes.
- Stir in both flours and the salt. Mix on medium speed, about 8 minutes, or until dough is soft, smooth, and elastic.
- Transfer dough to an oiled bowl and let rise until doubled in a warm place free of drafts, about 1 hour.
- Add the hot water and baking soda to a medium bowl and stir to dissolve the baking soda.
- Grab a handful of dough and roll it into a long, thin snake, about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 1-inch pieces.
- Dunk each piece in the baking soda solution using a slotted spoon. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to dry for about 30 seconds. Remove to a well greased baking sheet. When the baking sheet is full, set aside to rise for 15 more minutes.
- Continue filling baking sheets with pretzel nuggets and bake, one sheet at a time, in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
- Brush with the melted butter and sprinkle with salt.
- Serve with warm cream cheese, queso dip, or your favorite sauce for dipping.

Notes
- The water should be around 110-115 degrees when you add the yeast. If it's too cold, the mixture won't rise. If it's too hold, the yeast will die.
- We like to let our dough rise in the oven with the door closed and the oven light on.
