In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Add warm water to the dry ingredients and mix until the dough comes together.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise for about 1 hour in a warm area until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, bring the 3 cups of water to a boil, then carefully add the baking soda and stir until dissolved. Remove from heat.
Turn the risen dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
Roll each piece of dough into a long rope, approximately 18-20 inches long, and form each rope into a pretzel shape.
Dip each pretzel into the baking soda solution for about 30 seconds, then place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle the pretzels with coarse salt.
Melt the vegan butter and brush it over the tops of the pretzels before baking.
Bake the pretzels in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown.
Let the pretzels cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed warm.
