Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • ½ cup baking soda
  • 1 tsp coarse sea salt (plus extra for sprinkling)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)

Instructions

  1. 1. Activate the Yeast: In a bowl, mix warm water, active dry yeast, and brown sugar. Let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. 2. Create the Dough: Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Gradually add the yeast mixture until a sticky dough forms.
  3. 3. Knead: Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  6. 6. Prepare Baking Soda Bath: Boil water with baking soda in a large pot. Dip each pretzel for about 30 seconds before placing on a lined baking sheet.
  7. 7. Bake: Brush with melted butter, sprinkle with salt, and bake for about 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
