To make the soft pretzel pull apart bread, start with the dough. Use the whisk attachment for your KitchenAid(R) Stand Mixer. In the bowl of your Stand Mixer, combine the warm water, sugar, and salt. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about five minutes or until it starts to foam.

Next attach the dough hook. Add the flour and butter to the bowl. Mix on low until the ingredients are combined. Change the speed from 5 to 2, and knead for about five minutes or until the dough pulls away from the sides.

Preheat your KitchenAid(R) Combination Wall Oven to 450u00b0 F. Lightly flour a work surface and place the dough on top.
