Brezel / Pretzel

First, let’s take a look at the ingredients you will need for this recipe:

• 4 cups of all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons of salt
• 1 teaspoon of sugar
• 1 packet of instant yeast
• 1 1/2 cups of warm water
• 1/4 cup of baking soda
• 1 egg, beaten

Now let’s get started with the recipe:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast.
2. Add in the warm water, and mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for around 10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, and cover it with a damp cloth. Let it rest in a warm place for around 1 hour, until it doubles in size.
5. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. On a floured surface, divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope, and then shape it into a pretzel.
7. In a large pot, bring 2 liters of water to a boil. Add in the baking soda, and stir until it dissolves.
8. Carefully place each pretzel into the boiling water for around 30 seconds, then remove it with a slotted spoon and place it on the baking sheet.
9. Brush each pretzel with the beaten egg, and sprinkle them with salt.
10. Bake the pretzels in the preheated oven for around 12-15 minutes, until they are golden brown.
11. Remove them from the oven, and enjoy while they are still warm!
