Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet active dry yeast (2¼ teaspoons)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1½ cups warm water (110°F/43°C)
- ¾ cup baking soda (for boiling)
- Coarse salt (for topping)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast; let sit until foamy (about 5 minutes). Gradually mix in flour and salt until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Divide risen dough into equal pieces, roll each piece into a long rope (24 inches), and twist into pretzel shapes.
- Boil water with baking soda in a large pot; drop each shaped pretzel into boiling water for about 30 seconds before removing them.
- Place boiled pretzels on parchment-lined baking sheets; sprinkle with coarse salt and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
