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.
