Equipment
Ingredients
- Dough
- ¾ cups water {~110 degrees F}
- 1 ⅛ teaspoon active yeast
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ tbsp sugar
- Coarse kosher salt for topping to taste
- Baking Soda Bath
- 3 cups water
- ⅓ cup baking soda
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the water and yeast and stir.
- Add flour, sugar, and sea salt and mix until it is completely combined.
- With floured hands, knead the dough for 1 minute or use dough hook in electric mixer, until it forms into a ball. Divide the dough into eighths.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into ropes.
- With a knife, slice the dough into 1-inch pieces and bath the pieces baking soda bath for 30 seconds.

Christina's Notes
- Add Sugar: How about a sweet bite? Roll in cinnamon and sugar.
- Savory: Garlic Ranch would be great to top these pretzels.
- Variation tip: Use a whole wheat flour.
- Mustard: Pretzels and mustard go together like peas and carrots.
- Beer: Harry & David makes a Bacon Beer Cheese Dip.
- Always Butter: It really does make them taste so good, so don't simp use the real stuff.
