Ingredients
- 1 package 21/4 tbsp dry active yeast
- 1 1/2 cup water warm
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp butter melted, unsalted
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp water milk, or cream
- kosher Sea, or Pretzel salt for decoration
- BAKING SODA BATH:
- 9 cups water
- 1/2 cup baking soda
Instructions
- In a medium sized bowl, whisk together yeast and warm water and let bloom for 5 minutes. After yeast is activated, add butter, salt, and sugar and whisk together well. Then stir in 3 cups of flour using a wooden spoon, one cup at a time, until dough comes together well. Add in another 1/2 cup of flour and mix until dough is only slightly sticky.
- Flour work surface and turn dough out onto the floured surface. Knead for 3-5 minutes, until dough is no longer sticking to hands. Oil a large bowl and place dough into the bowl and cover with plastic wrap; let rise for 20 minutes in a warm, draft-free area.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Bring large pot of water and baking soda to a boil. Take dough and cut about a small fist's worth of dough, then roll it into a thin 20-22 inch log.
- Turn log into a circle, then twist the ends two or three times and fold over to ideal pretzel shape. Pinch the ends to the pretzel. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Place pretzels into the baking soda bath for 25-30 seconds, then scoop out using a slotted spatula and place onto baking sheet. Repeat until all pretzels are bathed and placed on baking sheet.
- Beat egg and tablespoon of preferred liquid together then brush egg wash onto the pretzels. Sprinkle on salt, then bake in oven for 14-15 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve with Cheese Sauce.
Notes
- Make an easy cheese sauce to go with these pretzels or cover them in cinnamon and sugar for a sweet treat!
