Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup baking soda
  • 1 large egg (beaten for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, activate the yeast by combining it with warm water and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add flour and salt to the yeast mixture and knead the dough until smooth. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
  3. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Once risen, divide the dough into equal pieces, roll each into a long rope, and shape into a pretzel.
  5. Prepare a baking soda solution by boiling water and baking soda together; dip each pretzel for about 30 seconds.
  6. Place the pretzels on the prepared baking sheet, brush with the beaten egg, and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
  7. Bake for about 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider brushing melted butter on top after baking.
  • Experiment with different toppings like garlic powder or cheese.
