Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour (unbleached)
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 ½ cups warm water (about 110°F or 43°C)
- ⅓ cup baking soda
- 1 tsp coarse sea salt (plus more for topping)
- 2 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit until frothy (about 5 minutes). Add flour and salt, mixing until smooth.
- Knead and Rise: Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until elastic. Place in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Shape the Pretzels: Punch down risen dough; divide into small pieces (about 1 inch). Roll each piece into a rope shape and twist into bite-sized pretzels.
- Boil and Bake: Bring water to a boil; add baking soda. Boil each pretzel bite for about 30 seconds before placing on a lined baking sheet. Bake at 425°F for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
- Add Finishing Touches: Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sea salt while warm.
