Pretzel Dough
Method
Pretzel Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy. Add the flour and salt to the mixture and stir until a dough forms.
- 2
Knead the Dough
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Shape the Pretzels
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope and shape into a pretzel. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

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 into the boiling water for about 30 seconds, then remove and place back on the baking sheet.
