Soft Pretzel Recipe – Vibrynt

Before we get to the doughy goodness, let’s make sure you’ve got all the essentials for this culinary adventure. Grab your ingredients, put on your apron, and let’s roll!

Delicious Homemade Soft Pretzels ### Ingredients:

1 ½ cups warm water (110°F to 115°F)
1 packet active dry yeast (or 2 ¼ teaspoons)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup baking soda
1 egg (for egg wash)
Coarse sea salt (for sprinkling)

Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it’s frothy, like your favorite morning coffee.
Add in the flour and salt. Mix until it forms a dough that you can knead. If you don’t have a dough hook, use your hands! Get in there, no one’s watching!
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic, like a pretzel yoga instructor.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size. Consider giving it a little pep talk; it’s about to be a star!
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down (yes, take out your frustrations!) and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 24 inches long, then twist and shape into your heart’s desire – classic pretzel, shape of a heart, or something just as creative!
In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a boil and add the baking soda. Carefully drop the pretzels into the boiling water, one at a time, letting them cook for about 30 seconds on each side. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on your prepared baking sheet.
Brush each pretzel with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and irresistible, like a sitcom character you just can’t get enough of!
Once done, let them cool for a minute or two, then dig in while they’re nice and warm. Dip them in mustard, cheese, or even chocolate (yes, you heard that right). Enjoy!

Now, don’t be shy – whip up a batch of these soft pretzels and share, or keep them all to yourself (we don’t judge!). Just remember, there’s no such thing as too many pretzels; it’s a knotty business, but someone’s got to do it!
