(FROM ALLRECIPES.COM)
“Homemade Pretzels”
1 1/4 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C), or more as needed
4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 teaspoon white sugar
5 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or more as needed
1/2 cup baking soda
4 cups hot water
1/4 cup kosher salt, for topping
Pour 1 ¼ cups warm water into a medium bowl. Dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in warm water; let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. Mix flour, ½ cup sugar, and salt together in a large bowl. Make a well in the center; add yeast mixture and oil. Mix well and form into a dough. If mixture is dry, add one or two more tablespoons of water. Knead dough until smooth, about 7 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place dough in the bowl, and turn to coat with oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets. Pour 4 cups hot water into a large bowl. Stir in baking soda until dissolved; set aside. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope and twist into a pretzel shape. Once all of the dough is shaped, dip each pretzel into the baking soda-hot water solution and place on the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle with kosher salt. Bake in preheated oven until browned, about 8 minutes.
