Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 1 packet Instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Baking soda
- 3 cups Hot water
- 1 large, beaten Egg
- 2 tablespoons Coarse salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, instant yeast, and granulated sugar. Stir gently and let sit for 2-3 minutes until the yeast begins to foam.
Add salt and gradually mix in the flour, one cup at a time. Once the dough becomes too stiff to stir, transfer it to a floured surface and knead for 3-5 minutes until soft and elastic.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk the baking soda into the hot water until dissolved. Set aside.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope, approximately 18-20 inches, and shape it into a traditional pretzel form.
Dip each pretzel into the baking soda solution, making sure it is fully submerged, then place on the prepared baking sheets.
Brush the pretzels with the beaten egg and sprinkle coarse salt on top.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the pretzels are golden brown. Serve warm and enjoy!
