Ingredients

Pretzels
  • 1 1/4 cups water lukewarm
  • 1 tablespoon instant dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 to 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Dipping Solution
  • 1/4 cup baking soda
  • 1 1/2 cups hot water
Toppings
  • melted butter
  • cinnamon sugar
  • shredded cheddar cheese
  • coarse salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Dissolve the yeast and sugar into the warm water.
  2. Add in the flour and mix until combined. No need to knead. Let the dough rise in a warm place until almost doubled which should only take about 20 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Divide the dough into golf ball sized lumps. Roll each ball into a snake or rope. Twist them into pretzel shapes (or whatever shape you'd like!).
  4. In a small bowl or a liquid measuring cup, dissolve the baking soda in the hot water. Dip the pretzels into the solution and place on a well-greased cookie sheet or baking pan.
  5. Bake for about 6 minutes at 500 degrees until they are golden brown.
  6. Remove from the oven and dip the face of the pretzel in melted butter. Add your chosen toppings.
