Ingredients
- 1/2 tsp Instant yeast
- 3 tbsp Warm water or more as needed
- 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
- pinch Salt
- 1/2 tbsp Brown sugar
- Nonstick spray
- 2 tbsp Baking soda
- 1 tbsp Coarse sea salt
Instructions
- Stir together the yeast and warm water in a bowl until the yeast is dissolved. Mix in the flour, salt, and brown sugar until dough is mixed completely and no longer sticky. (Add more flour or water depending on the consistency of the dough, 1 teaspoon at a time as needed to reach the proper consistency. To check: Poke the dough with your finger and it should bounce back - then it is ready).
- Lightly flour a flat surface and knead the dough for 3 minutes and form into a ball.
- Lightly grease a large bowl with non-stick spray and place dough in. Cover bowl with a towel and place in a room temperature/warm area for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- In a pot, bring 8 cups of water and baking soda to a boil.
- Cut the dough ball into equally sized pieces. Using your hands, gently roll each dough piece into long ropes about 8-10 inches long. Then form each rope into a pretzel. (Bring each end of the rope together so the dough forms a circle. Twist the ends of the rope together once. Then bring the twisted end toward yourself and fold it down onto the bottom curve. Dampen the ends with water to make them stick them onto the dough so it doesnt come apart).
- Spread the salt out on a plate.
- Drop each pretzel into the boiling water for 20-30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and place directly onto the plate with salt so the salt sticks to the top of the pretzel then place the pretzel on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Place in oven and bake for 15 minutes or until pretzel tops are a nice dark golden brown. Remove from oven.
