Directions
- 1In a bowl, mix 4 cups of bread flour, 2.25 teaspoons of yeast, 2 tablespoons of light brown sugar, and 1.5 teaspoons of salt. Whisk well to combine.
- 2Add 1/4 cup of oil and 1.5 cups of warm water to the bowl. Stir until the ingredients form a dough.
- 3Turn the dough out onto a clean surface. Knead the dough until it becomes nice and stretchy and no more dry flour is visible. Do not add more liquid.
- 4Spray a bowl with oil and place the kneaded dough into the bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise until doubled in size (about an hour).
- 5Once the dough has proofed, turn it out onto a clean surface. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- 6Using a pizza cutter, cut off a section of the dough, roll it out, then shape it into a pretzel. Repeat until all dough is used.
- 7In a shallow dish, combine water and about 1/4 cup of baking soda; stir until the mixture is cloudy. If not cloudy, add more baking soda.
- 8Dip each pretzel in the baking soda water, then place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with pretzel sea salt.
- 9Bake at 450°F for 10 minutes. Brush with melted butter before serving.
