| Chewy Soft Pretzels Recipe Ingredients | |
| 1 package (1/4 ounce) | active dry yeast |
| 1-1/2 cups | warm water, (110° to 115°) |
| 1 tablespoon | sugar |
| 2 teaspoons | salt |
| 4 to 4-1/4 cups | all-purpose flour |
| 8 cups | water |
| 1/2 cup | baking soda |
| 1 | egg, lightly beaten |
| Kosher salt | |
| sesame seeds, alternative | |
| poppy seeds, alternative | |
| grated Parmesan cheese, alternative | |
Directions
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the sugar, salt and 2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a stiff dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down; divide into 12 portions. Roll each into an 18-in. rope; twist into a pretzel shape.
In a large saucepan, bring water and baking soda to a boil. Place pretzels into boiling water, one at a time, for 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels.
Place on greased baking sheets. Brush with egg; sprinkle with desired topping.
Bake at 425° for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks. Serve warm. Yield: 1 dozen.
