In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, brown sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
Add the warm water and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed or stir with a wooden spoon until the dough begins to come together.
Knead the dough on a floured surface or using a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook for about 8-10 minutes or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Form the dough into a ball and place it in an oiled bowl, covering it with a kitchen towel. Allow the dough to rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes to an hour, or until it has doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, line baking sheets with parchment paper, and in a small bowl, mix the egg with one tablespoon of water for the egg wash.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 24 equal pieces.
Flatten each piece of dough into a rectangle and add about a teaspoon of peanut butter in the center.
Fold the dough over the peanut butter, pinching the seams tightly and rolling it into a ball to encase the filling completely.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the baking soda to it.
Preheat oven to 450Β°F (232Β°C).
Carefully drop a few pretzel balls at a time into the boiling water for about 30 seconds, then remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
Brush each pretzel with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow pretzels to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
