Baking Soda Bath
- 4 cups water
- 2 Tbsp baking soda
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes, or until bubbly. If the mixture does not foam, the yeast is inactive and the pretzels will not turn out. Repeat this step with fresh yeast until bubbly.1 cup warm water, 1 pkg dry active yeast, 1 Tbsp sugar
- Add 1Tbsp melted butter, salt, and flour. Using the dough hook, knead on low speed for 10 minutes. The dough should be very soft but not stick to the sides of the bowl.1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp melted butter, divided, 1/2 tsp salt, 2 1/2 cups flour
- Cover and let rise at room temperature for 1 hour, or until doubled in size

- In a large pot, bring the water and baking soda to a boil.4 cups water, 2 Tbsp baking soda
- Roll each piece of dough into a long rope, then cut into 1-inch pieces to form bites.
- Working in batches, gently drop the dough pieces into the boiling baking soda water for 5–10 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. (The parchment will become wet, so be sure to transfer the bites to a fresh sheet of parchment before baking.)
- Bake for 10 minutes at 425°F.
