Are you craving a delicious snack that combines a soft interior with a golden, salty exterior? Look no further than homemade bretzels! This simple pretzel recipe will guide you through the process of creating these irresistible treats in the comfort of your own kitchen. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 packet of active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons coarse salt

Instructions:

1. Dissolve the yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.

2. Mix the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the yeast mixture to the flour while stirring until it forms a sticky dough. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

3. Let it rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until it doubles in size.

4. Shape the bretzels: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a long rope, about 20 inches in length. Shape each rope into a pretzel by crossing the ends over, twisting them once, and pressing the ends onto the curved portion.

5. Boil the bretzels: In a large pot, bring 6 cups of water to a gentle boil. Add the baking soda and stir. Carefully place each pretzel into the boiling water for 30 seconds, then remove them using a slotted spoon and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

6. Bake to perfection: Sprinkle the pretzels with coarse salt and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown. Remove them from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before indulging in their tasty goodness.

Now that you know how to make bretzels, it’s time to enjoy these warm, chewy delights as a delicious snack or party treat. They pair perfectly with mustard or cheese dip. Don’t forget to share your homemade bretzels with family and friends, and maybe even keep some for yourself!
