Instructions
- Sift the flour and put it in the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment on.
- Add the yeast and the room-temperature butter.
- Turn the mixer on low to mix the ingredients together, adding in the 185 grams of room-temperature water slowly.
- Mix on low for several minutes until the dough is uniform and compact.
- Add the fine salt and mix on medium speed for a few minutes.
- Turn off the mixer and remove the dough from the bowl and place on a cutting board.
- With your hands, roll back and forth to create a long oblong shape.
- Cut into five equal parts.
- Start with one part and roll back and forth until you form a long, thick cord of about 50 cm. The ends should be thinner than the middle.
- Form an open knot, pretzel shape and attach the ends, pinching to attach it firmly.
- Place each formed pretzel on a sheet covered with flour, and leave all 5 to rise for 30 minutes.
- After rising for 30 minutes, place them in the fridge to rest for an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 430° F.
- Put a large pot with 2 liters of water over medium heat and bring to a boil. When the water is boiling, add the baking soda.
- Prepare a baking tray with a sheet of baking paper.
- Using a slotted spoon, place the first pretzel into the boiling water and cook for 30-40 seconds.
- Drain the pretzel well and transfer to the baking tray. Repeat for all the other pretzels.
- Slice a long line in the fattest part of each pretzel. Sprinkle them with pretzel salt.
- Cook in the oven at 430° F for 20 minutes, or until deep golden brown.
- Serve the pretzels warm.
