Directions

1Combine 4 to 4 1/2 cups of bread flour, 2 1/4 teaspoons or one packet of fast rising yeast, 2 tablespoons of light brown sugar, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt in a bowl, ensuring ingredients are well-distributed.
2Add 1/4 cup of oil and 1 1/2 cups of warm water to the dry ingredients and begin stirring.
3Once the mixture comes together, turn it out onto a clean surface and knead the dry flour into the dough without adding more liquid.
4Spray the bowl with oil, place the dough in it, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise until it doubles in size, which should take about an hour.
5Once the dough has proofed, turn it out onto a clean surface without punching it down, to maintain a fluffy texture.
6Preheat your oven to 450°F.
7Use a pizza cutter to cut off a piece of the dough, then roll it out.
8Form the pretzel shape by setting the middle down, crossing the ends, crossing them again, and sticking the ends down.
9In a shallow dish, pour some water and sprinkle in about a quarter cup of baking soda.
10Dip both sides of each pretzel into the baking soda solution.
11Place the dipped pretzels on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
12Brush all pretzels with an egg wash.
13Sprinkle the pretzels with pretzel sea salt or coarse sea salt.
14Bake in the preheated 450°F oven for 10 minutes.
15Optionally, brush the warm pretzels with melted butter for enhanced flavor.
