List of Ingredients




1 1/2 C warm water
1 1/8 tsp. active dry yeast (1 1/2 pkg)
2 Tbs. brown sugar
1 1/8 tsp. salt
1 C bread flour
3 C regular flour
2 C warm water
2 Tbs. baking soda
To Taste: Coarse salt
2-4 Tbsp. butter (melted)

Recipe



Sprinkle yeast on lukewarm water in mixing bowl; stir to dissolve. Add sugar, salt and stir to dissolve; add flour and knead dough until smooth and elastic. Let rise at least 1/2 hour.

While dough is rising, prepare a baking soda water bath with 2 cups warm water and 2 Tbs. baking soda. Be certain to stir often.

After dough has risen, pinch off bits of dough and roll into a long rope (about 1/2 inch or less thick) and shape. Dip pretzel in soda solution and place on greased baking sheet. Allow pretzels to rise again. Bake in oven at 450 degrees for about 10 minutes or until golden. Brush with melted butter and enjoy.

After you brush with butter, try sprinkling with coarse salt.

For Auntie Anne's famous Cinnamon Sugar, try melting a stick of butter in a shallow bowl (big enough to fit the entire pretzel) and in a shallow bowl made a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. Dip the pretzel in the butter, coating both sides generously. Then dip again into the cinnamon mixture.
