Prep:

Total:
1 hr 40 mins
Ingredients
- 1½ cups water
- 1 tbsp yeast
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 5 cups flour
- ½ cup milk
- 5 tbsp baking soda
- Butter, melted, as needed
- Sea salt, for topping
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the water and yeast and stir.
- In a separate bowl, combine the salt, sugar, and flour.
- Once the yeast has completely dissolved in the water, combine with the flour mixture and milk. Mix evenly with a stand mixer.
- To let the dough rise, place it in a greased bowl and cover it with a wet towel. It should rise to twice the size after an hour.
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
- Smash the dough back down and divide it into 10 equal sections.
- Roll the pieces out into long ropes. Longer ropes mean larger, thinner pretzels, while shorter ropes mean smaller, thicker pretzels.
- Twist the ropes into pretzel shapes, pressing down the ends to secure them. Let them sit out for 15 minutes to rise again.
- In a saucepan, bring some water and baking soda to a boil. Place the pretzels in, one by one, leaving each in for 30 seconds.
- Place the pretzels on a baking sheet and brush them with the melted butter. Top with sea salt and bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
- Roll them in cinnamon if desired, or serve with mustard.
