Pretzel Sticks
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy. Add salt and flour, mixing until a dough forms.
- 2
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Shape the Pretzels
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long stick shape, about 10-12 inches long.

Prepare the Baking Soda Bath
In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a boil and add the baking soda. Carefully drop each pretzel stick into the boiling water for 30 seconds, then remove and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake the Pretzels
Sprinkle the pretzel sticks with coarse sea salt and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
