Introduction
Pretzels are the perfect snack for movie nights, game nights, or just a quick snack. This recipe is easy to follow and yields perfectly soft, chewy, and salty pretzels. You can enjoy them plain or with your favorite dips.
Ingredients
For the dough, you will need:
3 cups of all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon of granulated sugar
1 teaspoon of salt
1 packet of active dry yeast
1 cup of warm water
For boiling, you will need:
10 cups of water
2/3 cup of baking soda
For topping, you will need:
1 egg, beaten
Salt or pretzel salt
Instructions
Step 1: Making the Dough
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Slowly pour in the warm water while stirring until the dough comes together. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a damp towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled in size.
Step 2: Shaping the Pretzels
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Bring the 10 cups of water and baking soda to a boil in a large pot. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope, about 20 inches in length. Twist the rope into a pretzel shape and press the ends onto the dough to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Step 3: Boiling the Pretzels
Place the pretzels, one at a time, into the boiling water for 30 seconds. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place on a greased baking sheet.
Step 4: Topping and Baking the Pretzels
Brush the beaten egg over each pretzel and sprinkle with salt or pretzel salt. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
