In a small bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Activate Yeast

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Add the yeast mixture and melted butter. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Mix Ingredients

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Knead Dough

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

First Rise

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Preheat Oven

Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces.

Prepare Dough

Roll each piece into a long rope (about 24 inches) and shape it into a pretzel, crossing the ends and twisting them before securing.

Shape Pretzels

In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a boil and add the baking soda.

Prepare Baking Solution

Carefully place each pretzel into the boiling water for about 30 seconds, then remove and place on the parchment-lined baking sheets.

Boil Pretzels

Brush the boiled pretzels with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

Add Toppings

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove the pretzels from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with Black Heart beer cheese or HWY 80 infused mustard.
