- 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)
- In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- In another bowl, mix the flour and salt together.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the yeast mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- 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.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- 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.
- In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a boil. Add the baking soda carefully.
- Drop each pretzel into the boiling water for about 30 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and place on the prepared baking sheets.
- Beat the egg and brush it over each pretzel. Sprinkle coarse sea salt on top.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let the pretzels cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
