    Calling All Cooks

    List of Ingredients




    4 teaspoons active dry yeast
    1 teaspoon white sugar
    1 1/4 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
    5 cups all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup white sugar
    1 1/2 teaspoons salt
    1 tablespoon vegetable oil

    1/2 cup baking soda
    4 cups hot water
    1/4 cup 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 (230 degrees C). 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.
