Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Using a stand mixer with a dough hook attached, add the flour, sugar, salt and yeast. Stir, then add warm water.
  • With a spatula, stir to begin mixing then turn on mixer to medium speed and knead for 5 minutes.
  • Add oil to a paper towel and rub the inside of a medium bowl.
  • Dust dough with flour, place in bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let sit for 30 minutes until dough has doubled in size.
  • On a lightly oil surface, after dough has doubled in size, turn dough out and cut into 8 pieces.
  • Roll between hands and make each piece of dough about 15 inches.
  • Take one piece of dough and form the shape of a pretzel.
  • Heat water and baking soda to boil, turn off and let cool for a few minutes.
  • Place each pretzel into baking soda bath for 30 seconds on each side.
  • Remove from water and place on a baking sheet that has been oiled or place on parchment paper that has been generously sprayed with non stick spray.
  • Once all the pretzels have been placed in baking soda water and place on baking sheet, sprinkle with pretzel salt or sea salt.
  • Pop in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until pretzels are golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and brush with melted butter and enjoy!
