Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (2¼ teaspoons)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1½ cups warm water (110°F/43°C)
  • ¾ cup baking soda (for boiling)
  • Coarse salt (for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast; let sit until foamy (about 5 minutes).
  2. Gradually mix in flour and salt until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
  5. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Divide risen dough into equal pieces, roll each piece into long ropes (around 24 inches), and twist them into pretzel shapes.
  6. Bring water to boil in a large pot and add baking soda. Drop each shaped pretzel into boiling water for about 30 seconds before removing.
  7. Place boiled pretzels on parchment-lined baking sheets, sprinkle with coarse salt, and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
