Soft Pretzel Sticks

Method

Soft Pretzel Sticks

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy. Add salt and gradually mix in flour until a dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.

  3. 3

    Shape the Pretzels

    Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Once risen, divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope and shape into a pretzel. Place on a lined baking sheet.

  4. 4

    Baking Soda Bath

    In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water to boil and add baking soda. Boil each pretzel for 30 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and place back on the baking sheet.

  5. 5

    Bake the Pretzels

    Brush each pretzel with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
