Homemade Soft Pretzels: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1 ½ cups warm water (about 110°F or 43°C)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • ¼ cup baking soda
  • 1 large egg (for egg wash)
  • Coarse sea salt (for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. In another bowl, mix the flour and salt together.
  3. Gradually add the flour mixture to the yeast mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
  4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  6. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope (about 24 inches) and shape into a pretzel.
  8. In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a boil. Add the baking soda carefully.
  9. Drop each pretzel into the boiling water for about 30 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and place on the prepared baking sheets.
  10. Beat the egg and brush it over each pretzel. Sprinkle coarse sea salt on top.
  11. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
  12. Let the pretzels cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
