Perfect and Easy Soft Pretzels
















Ingredients





  • 1 package (1/4 oz) active dry yeast

  • 1 cup warm water (around 110°-115°F)

  • 2 Tablespoons softened butter

  • 1 Tablespoon brown sugar

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 2 & ¾ cups all-purpose flour (may not need all of it)

  • 4 cups water

  • ¼ cup baking soda

  • Coarse sea salt for sprinkling

  • ¼ cup melted butter















  1. Place the warm water in the bowl of your stand mixer.
    Sprinkle the top of the water with the yeast packet. Let it dissolve for about
    2 minutes. Once dissolved, add in the softened butter, brown sugar, salt, and 2
    cups of the flour. Using a dough hook attachment, mix on medium-low speed until
    a sticky dough comes together and dough is smooth. Stir in any remaining flour,
    ¼ cup at a time, until dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl and
    when touched with a finger, does not stick and springs back lightly when
    touched. Place in a lightly greased bowl and cover with a tea towel. Let rise
    in a warm place for 20 minutes.

  2. Preheat oven to 450°F. Line 2 baking sheets with silicone
    liners or parchment paper. GREASE whatever liner you use - trust me on this! I
    just spread a stick of butter around the parchment paper to make sure it is
    greased well.

  3. Punch the dough down a couple times to break up any air
    pockets. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. The best way to do this is to
    cut in half with a pizza cutter, then cut each half into fourths. Using your
    palms and the heels of your hands, roll each piece into a 12-15" long rope
    on a clean work surface - do NOT flour your work surface, as this will prevent
    the stretch of your dough. Shape the rope into a circle with about 2-3"
    inch of each end overlapping (think the shape of a breast cancer awareness
    ribbon). Twist the ends where they overlap, then flip the twisted ends over the
    circle, pinching the ends into the circle to form a pretzel shape.

  4. In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil over medium
    heat. Add in the baking soda; mixture will bubble violently for a minute. Drop
    a pretzel into the boiling water using a slotted spatula. Let boil for about 30
    seconds, then gently remove with the spatula, allowing excess water to drip
    off. Place on the greased baking sheets and shape back to pretzel shape if
    needed. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt, if using. Repeat with remaining
    pretzels.

  5. Bake the pretzels for 10-12 minutes, rotating pans halfway
    through baking time to ensure even baking, or until golden brown on top. Brush
    with melted butter while still hot. Serve warm or room temperature
