| Serves: 12 Cook time: 14 minutes Difficulty: Intermediate Cost: $ Ingredients 1 1/2 cups warm water | |
| 1 tablespoon | granulated sugar |
| 1 tablespoons honey | |
| 1 package | active dry yeast, (2 1/4 teaspoons) |
| 4 tablespoons | unsalted butter, melted |
| 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour Vegetable oil 10 cups water | |
| 2/3 cup | baking soda |
| 1 | whole egg |
| 1 tablespoon cold water | |
| Coarse sea salt | |
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit for about 5 minutes until foamy
In a separate bowl, stir the flour and kosher salt together
Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds. Add honey to butter and stir to combine
Slowly add butter and honey to yeast, while mixing with an electric mixer on low or whisking by hand
Attach the dough hook if using the mixer. Gradually add flour to wet mixture. Knead the dough until it no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl and dough ball is smooth
Tip: If kneading by hand, begin by adding flour with a wooden spoon and switch to hand kneading once it gets too difficult to stir.
Remove the dough from the bowl, clean the bowl, then cover it well with vegetable oil. Once again, add the dough to the bowl and cover with a warm, damp cloth. Place in a dark corner in your kitchen to rise. Allow dough to double in size (about an hour)
Once dough has doubled in size, punch dough down and divide into 12 portions. On a lightly greased surface, roll each piece into an 18-inch rope and twist into a pretzel shape
Preheat oven to 450 F
Bring 10 cups of water and baking soda to a rolling boil. Once boiling, add pretzels (one at a time) and boil for 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon or spatula and place on a lined baking sheet
Tip: You can also fill a large bowl with the warm water and baking soda mixture to submerge the pretzels (one at a time). Boiling will make the outer shell of the finished pretzels crunchier. The choice is yours!
Brush pretzels with egg and sprinkle with coarse sea salt
Bake pretzels for 12-14 minutes at 450 F and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving
