Glenda Lehman Ervin

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups warm water
1 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp yeast
2 tsp salt
4 1/2 cups flour
2 ounces butter melted
1/4 cup baking soda
Kosher/Pretzel Salt

Instructions

Mix water with sugar and yeast. Let mixture sit 5 minutes or until foamy.
With dough hook attachment mix in salt, butter, and flour. Mix until well combined (4-5 minutes). Dough should be smooth and pull away from side of mixing bowl. Let dough rest for 10 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a large pot bring 8 cups water and ¼ baking soda to a boil. Divide dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll dough pieces into long rope (about 24 inches) and then cross ends and twist and fold to make classic pretzel shape.
Boil pretzels in soda water for about 30 seconds and then remove and place onto greased baking sheet. Top with salt and then bake in oven for 10-12 minutes or golden brown.
