Ingredients: 4 teaspoons active dry yeast; 1 teaspoon white sugar; 1 1/4 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C); 5 cups all-purpose flour; 1/2 cup white sugar; 1 1/2 teaspoons salt; 1 tablespoon vegetable oil; 1/2 cup baking soda; 4 cups hot water; 1/4 cup kosher salt, for topping

Servings: persons

4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 1/4 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
5 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup baking soda
4 cups hot water
1/4 cup kosher salt, for topping

1
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in 1 1/4 cup warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
2
In a large bowl, mix together flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center; add the oil and yeast mixture. Mix and form into a dough. If the mixture is dry, add one or two more tablespoons of water. Knead the dough until smooth, about 7 to 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl, and turn to coat with oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
3
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.
4
In a large bowl, dissolve baking soda in 4 cups hot water; set aside. When risen, turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope and twist into a pretzel shape. Once all of the dough is shaped, dip each pretzel into the baking soda-hot water solution and place pretzels on baking sheets. Sprinkle with kosher salt.
5
Bake in preheated oven until browned, about 8 minutes.
