INGREDIENTS

  • Dough Ingredients

    • 1 cup self-rising flour, plus more for kneading
    • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

  • Water Bath

    • 2 tablespoons baking soda

  • Toppings

    • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon coarse salt, or as needed

STEPS

1

Bring 6 cups of water to a low boil in a large pot. Add baking soda.

2

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking sheet.

3

Mix 1 cup flour and Greek yogurt together in a medium bowl until a shaggy dough forms. Transfer to a surface dusted with more self-rising flour, and knead for 8 to 10 minutes, adding flour as needed.

4

Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long, thin rope (22-24 inches) and shape into a pretzel.

5

One by one, carefully drop each pretzel into the boiling water and cook until they float to the top (2-3 minutes). Drain on paper towels or a cooling rack.

6

Transfer the pretzels to the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

7

Remove the pretzels, increase oven temperature to 425°F (220°C), brush pretzels with melted butter, and bake until golden brown (4-5 minutes). Brush with more butter and sprinkle with coarse salt.

💡 Ensure the dough is not too sticky by continuously adding flour during kneading.For sweeter pretzels, switch the coarse salt for cinnamon sugar as a topping.Shape the pretzels carefully by rolling the ropes evenly to maintain a consistent baking result.Fresh Greek yogurt works best as it impacts the dough's texture and rise.
