    List of Ingredients




    4 t active dry Yeast
    1 t White Sugar
    1 1/4 C warm Water (110 degrees F)
    5 C all-purpose Flour
    1/2 C White Sugar
    1 1/2 t Salt
    1 T Vegetable Oil

    1/2 C Baking Soda
    4 C hot Water
    1/4 C Kosher Salt, for topping

    Recipe



    In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
    In a large bowl, mix together flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center; add the oil and yeast mixture. Mix and form into a dough. If the mixture is dry, add one or two tablespoons of water. Knead the dough until smooth, about 7 to 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
    Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. In a large bowl, dissolve baking soda in hot water.
    When risen, turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope and twist into a pretzel shape. Once all of the dough is all shaped, dip each pretzel into the baking soda solution and place on a greased baking sheet. Sprinkle with kosher salt.
    Bake in preheated oven for 8 minutes, until browned.
    Yield: 12 Pretzels
