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

  1. Prepare the Yeast Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast; let sit until foamy (about 5 minutes).
  2. Knead the Dough: Gradually mix in flour and salt until dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Let It Rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
  4. Shape the Pretzels: Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Divide risen dough into equal pieces, roll each into a long rope (24 inches), and twist into pretzel shape.
  5. Boil the Pretzels: Boil water with baking soda in a large pot; drop each shaped pretzel into boiling water for about 30 seconds before removing.
  6. Bake Until Golden Brown: Place boiled pretzels on parchment-lined baking sheets; sprinkle with coarse salt and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
