Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Once the yeast mixture is foamy, add it along with olive oil into the flour mixture. Stir until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Let Dough Rise

    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 it has doubled in size.

Pickle Brine Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Pickle Brine

    In a medium bowl, combine dill pickles, pickle juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Shaping and Boiling

  1. 6

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 7

    Shape Pretzels

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope and twist it into a pretzel shape.

  3. 8

    Boil Pretzels

    Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully add the pretzels, 2-3 at a time, and boil for about 30 seconds on each side. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on the prepared baking sheet.

  4. 9

    Add Pickle Brine

    Using a pastry brush, coat each pretzel with the prepared pickle brine mixture.
