Baked Soft Pretzels are soft and chewy on the inside with the perfect salty golden exterior. This recipe will walk you through these easy homemade pretzels with step by step instructions!
Servings: 12 Pretzels
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 cups hot water
- ¼ cup baking soda
- coarse salt for topping
- cheese dip for serving
Instructions
- In a stand mixer, add 1 cup warm water and 2 teaspoons active dry yeast. Allow the yeast to proof and become bubbly about 5 minutes.
- With the dough hook attached, mix in ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3 cups all-purpose flour one cup at a time. If the dough is too dry add in 1 additional tablespoon of water.
- Remove the dough from the bowl and knead it into a ball. Place the dough into a large bowl and add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil on top. Cover the bowl with a towel and allow the dough to rise until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope and then twist it into a pretzel shape. *See photos.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Add 2 cups hot water and ¼ cup baking soda together in a medium-sized bowl. Dip each pretzel into the water mixture and place them onto the baking sheets. Sprinkle the top with coarse salt for topping.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Serve with my homemade cheese sauce on the side!
