Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.25 cup Baking soda
- 4 cups Boiling water
- 1 unit Egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons Coarse sea salt
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the warm water, yeast, and granulated sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the melted butter and the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°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 rope, about 12 inches long, and tie it into a knot.
In a large heatproof bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water.
Using a slotted spoon, dip each knot into the baking soda solution for about 30 seconds, ensuring all sides are coated. Place the knots on the prepared baking sheets.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolk with 1 tablespoon of water. Brush this mixture over each pretzel knot and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pretzel knots are golden brown.
Allow the pretzel knots to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as an appetizer, snack, or side dish!
