In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, cane sugar, and salt.
Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 7-8 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a clean, lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the baking soda and hot water until fully dissolved. Set aside.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope (about 20 inches long), then twist and shape into a pretzel shape.
Carefully dip each shaped pretzel into the baking soda solution, making sure it's fully coated, then place it onto the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle the tops of the pretzels with coarse salt, if desired.
Bake the pretzels in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the pretzels to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
