Ingredients

Method

In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, sugar, and warm water. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.

Let the dough rise in a covered bowl for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope, then twist into a pretzel shape.

Bring the 1 liter of water to a boil in a large pot. Add the baking soda.

Boil each pretzel for 30 seconds per side, then place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Sprinkle the pretzels with coarse salt, then bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Allow to cool on a wire rack before serving.
