Ingredients:
2 teaspoons active dry yeast |
1-1/3 cups warm water (110° to 115°) |
1/3 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt |
3-1/2 to 4 cups king arthur unbleached bread flour |
6 cups water |
1/4 cup baking soda |
2 tablespoons butter, melted |
additional kosher salt |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the brown sugar, salt and 2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 4-6 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
3. Punch dough down; divide into 12 portions. Roll each into a 18-in. rope; twist into a pretzel shape. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
4. In a large saucepan, bring water and baking soda to a boil. Place pretzels into boiling water, one at a time, for 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
5. Place pretzels onto a preheated waffle iron coated with cooking spray. Cook for 1 to 1-1/2 minutes or until golden brown. Carefully remove to wire racks. Immediately brush with butter and sprinkle with additional salt. Serve warm. Yield: 1 dozen.
