Ingredients

For the Pretzel Bread Sticks

Preparation

Instructions

1. Prepare the Yeast Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, brown sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

2. Make the Dough

Gradually add the all-purpose flour and kosher salt to the yeast mixture, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.

3. First Rise

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

4. Shape the Pretzel Sticks

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope (about 12-14 inches) and twist into a pretzel shape or leave as sticks.

5. Baking Soda Bath

In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water and the baking soda to a boil. Boil each pretzel stick for about 30 seconds, then remove and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

6. Bake the Pretzel Sticks

Brush the boiled pretzel sticks with melted butter and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

7. Serve

Allow the pretzel sticks to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with cheddar cheese dip or your choice of dip.
