["In a stand mixer, combine the water, sugar and salt. Sprinkle the yeast on top, wait 5 minutes for it to foam.", "Add the flour and melted butter and mix on low speed with a dough hook, then up the speed to medium for 5 minutes. Add more flour if the dough doesn't pull away from the bowl and begin sticking to the dough hook. You can also knead the dough by hand for about 8 minutes on a floured surface.", "Remove the dough from the bowl and grease the bowl. Return the dough into the bowl and cover with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel. Set it on top of a 450 degree preheated oven for an hour (or another warm, draft free place), or until the dough has doubled in size.", "Line 2 baking sheets with foil or parchment paper, spray with cooking spray and set aside.", "Meanwhile, bring the 10 cups of water to a boil, adding the baking soda and stir to combine. Use a deep enough pot so it doesn't boil over when you drop the pretzels in.", "Roll out the dough and section it into 12 pieces. Roll each piece into a rope and then shape the rope into a pretzel. You can also cut pieces out of the rope to make ""nuggets.""

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
