In a large bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and granulated sugar. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
Add the melted butter, salt, and 3 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms, gradually adding the remaining flour as needed. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5β7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a damp towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, make the berry filling. In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries and honey. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the berries break down and the mixture thickens, about 8β10 minutes.
Dissolve the cornstarch in cold water and stir it into the berry mixture. Cook for an additional 2β3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope, flatten it slightly, and fill the center with 1β2 teaspoons of the cooled berry filling. Pinch the edges together to seal, then shape into a pretzel.
In a large heatproof bowl, dissolve the baking soda in 4 cups of hot water. Dip each pretzel into the baking soda solution, then place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle each pretzel lightly with coarse sea salt, and bake in the preheated oven for 12β15 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the pretzels bake, make the icing. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Drizzle the icing over the warm pretzels and serve immediately. Enjoy your Oogely Bluegely Berry Pretzels!
