Serves 8
Directions
- 1Add warm water to the bowl of your mixer.
- 2Add 1 1/2 cups of warm-ish water at 110F.
- 3Add one tablespoon of sugar.
- 4Add one packet of Active Dry or Instant Yeast.
- 5Mix this up and set it aside for about five minutes or until the yeast is nice and foamy.
- 6Melt two tablespoons of butter.
- 7Measure out 4 cups of flour. Add this in parts so I want this in a separate bowl.
- 8You can mix one teaspoon of salt right into the flour.
- 9Pop this onto my mixer but I'm not going to add the dough hook yet because we're going to mix this up by hand it's so much easier.
- 10Add a cup of flour.
- 11Add one more cup of flour.
- 12Add melted two tablespoons of butter.
- 13Now we have our base, get that dough hook out.
- 14I'm going to add one cup of flour in while this mixes on medium speed which is about a four.
- 15You're going to see the dough is going to come together really quickly it's not sticking to the bowl.
- 16Get this dough out and knead it by hand for about four minutes.
- 17Take your precious dough with a little bit of oil just so it doesn't stick, put it in a warm and cozy place for about 40 minutes.
- 18My dough has doubled in size and right now you're going to set that oven to 450.
- 1910 cups of water to a boil.
- 20Measure out two thirds of a cup of baking soda.
- 21It's a lot of baking soda but this is the magical ingredient that makes those soft pretzels brown with that great texture and taste.
- 22Divide this into eight pieces.
- 23Roll these out to be about two feet long.
- 24Add the baking soda in the boiling water.
- 25Gently lowering your pretzel it should release from a slotted spoon pretty easily.
- 26After it boils for 30 seconds just take it out.
- 27All done boiling almost ready for the oven.
- 28Adding an optional egg wash onto these, it's going to help brown them up even more and give you a nice glossy finish.
- 29Springkling salt.
- 30Into the oven for 450 for about 12 minutes or until they are golden deep brown color.
