Name: Homemade Soft Pretzels
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast one packet; 1 cup warm water; 1 teaspoon sugar; 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted; 1 teaspoon salt; 3 cups all purpose flour more if necessary; 2 cups water; 4 tablespoons baking soda; 1 tablespoon coarse salt; 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Servings: persons

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast one packet
1 cup warm water
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups all purpose flour more if necessary
2 cups water
4 tablespoons baking soda
1 tablespoon coarse salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

1
Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Combine yeast, warm water and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a hook attachment. Mix the mixture until the yeast starts to become bubbly. Mix in the salt and melted butter. Add in 1 cup of flour until mixed, continue with the rest of the flour mixing in 1 cup at a time until the dough is not sticky. More flour may need to be added as necessary.
3
Knead the dough for 5 minutes and form into a ball. Place the dough back in the bowl and let rest for 15 minutes.
4
While the dough is resting, prepare the baking soda bath. In a sauce pan, boil 2 cups of water along with the baking soda. After the baking soda is dissolved, remove the mixture from the heat and pour into a 9x9 pan.
5
Once the baking soda bath is prepared, the dough should be finished resting. Remove the dough from the bowl and cut into 8 sections. Roll each section into a rope about 19-20 inches long (I roll the dough between my hands). Shape the long rope into a pretzel and place into the baking soda bath for 2 minutes. Place onto baking sheet. Continue rolling and shaping the other pretzels and placing in the baking soda bath until all of the pretzels are prepared.
6
Bake the pretzels for 8-9 minutes or until they are golden brown. After removing from the oven, brush generously with the melted butter.
