Ingredients

Five cups water

One third cup baking soda

Three and half teaspoons yeast

One tablespoon regular sugar

Three tablespoons granulated sugar

Three and half cups bread flour, plus half cup more for the surface while rolling out

Half tablespoon salt

One teaspoon wine

Nine tablespoons oil

 

Instructions

Pretzel dough

Pour one and half cups of water into the bowl of a stand mixer or large bowl and sprinkle the yeast on top of the water. Let them sit for six minutes.

Add one tablespoon regular sugar, three tablespoons granulated sugar, three tablespoons oil and one teaspoon wine. Stir, let them dissolve.

Add three cups of bread flour and half tablespoon of salt, mix them with a paddle attachment or a bread hook, or mix them with a spatula or large spoon.

Add the additional half cup of flour, knead them for six minutes. The dough will be slightly sticky. The dough is much easier to roll out if it is a little sticky. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Or just use the same bowl and lightly spray the sides of the bowl with cooking spray. Let the dough rise, then punch down the dough. Cover and let rise again.

Shape the dough

Place the rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Preheat the oven.

Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 9 pieces. Roll each piece into a 60 CM rope.

Form the rope into an upside down U.

Cross the U shape. Then form a pretzel shape.

Gently stretch the pretzel to give the dough room to rise while baking and hold its shape. Set aside on a lightly oiled or parchment lined cookie sheet.

Prepare soda solution for dipping pretzels

Pour three and half cups of water into a shallow pan. Pour one third cup of baking soda into the pan and stir with a spoon or whisk to dissolve.

Dip each pretzel in the soda solution, allowing extra soda solution to drip back into the pan. Place the pretzel back on the baking sheet.

Bake and serve pretzels

Bake at 450 degrees for about 12 minutes. Or on convection bake 425 for about 9 minutes. The pretzels will turn to golden. Highly recommend using convection if available.

Brush oil on hot pretzels.
