Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 ½ cups warm water (110°F / 43°C)
- ½ cup baking soda
- Coarse sea salt (to taste)
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine warm water and yeast; let sit for about 5 minutes until bubbly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and stir until combined to form a soft dough.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Punch down the risen dough and divide it into small pieces. Roll each piece into ropes and twist into pretzel shapes.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Boil water mixed with baking soda in a large pot; briefly dip each pretzel into boiling water before placing them on parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Bake for about 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Brush with melted butter before serving.
