Cooking Instructions!
In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water and sprinkle the yeast over it. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
Add salt and flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until the dough starts to come together.
Place the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for about 7 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
Grease a large bowl with melted butter and place the dough inside. Cover it with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).
In a large pot, dissolve baking soda in hot water. Dip each pretzel dough into the baking soda solution for about 30 seconds, then place them on a greased baking sheet.
Sprinkle the pretzels with coarse sea salt and bake them in the preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove the pretzels from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the soft and flavorful homemade pretzels!
