Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1.5 cups warm water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 0.333 cup baking soda
- 2 tablespoons coarse sea salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water, then sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add the salt and olive oil to the yeast mixture, then gradually mix in the flour, one cup at a time, until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 14-inch-long rope and tie it into a knot.
In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil. Gradually add the baking soda, being careful as it might bubble.
Using a slotted spoon, gently place each pretzel knot into the boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle each pretzel knot with coarse sea salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the pretzels are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
