INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
    • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
    • 🧂 1 ⅛ teaspoons salt
    • 3 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 cup bread flour

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 💧 1 ½ cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
    • 💧 2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
    • 2 tablespoons melted butter

  • Additives

    • 2 tablespoons baking soda
    • 🧂 2 tablespoons coarse kosher salt

STEPS

1

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast, brown sugar, and salt in 1.5 cups of warm water. Stir in flour and knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, and turn to coat the surface. Cover and let rise for one hour.

2

Combine 2 cups of warm water and baking soda in an 8-inch square pan. Line 6 baking sheets with parchment paper.

3

After the dough has risen, cut it into 12 pieces. Roll each piece into a 3-foot rope, pencil-thin or thinner. Twist into a pretzel shape and dip into the baking soda solution. Place onto the parchment-covered baking sheets and let rise for 15 to 20 minutes.

4

Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).

5

Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse salt, garlic salt, or cinnamon sugar.
