Soft Pretzels

I found this recipe at Sisters Cafe a while ago and just got around to trying it! They were super simple and the kids even helped roll the snakes and make the pretzels!
They were really yummy and wouldn't these be good to dip in cheese sauce!
Soft Pretzels
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 1 pkg yeast (or 1 tbsp)
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 cups flour

Add sugar to warm water then sprinkle yeast on top. Let float for a minute then stir to dissolve the yeast. Let sit for 10 minutes as yeast activates and starts to foam.

Add salt and flour and knead for 5-10 minutes; adding more flour as needed to reduce stickiness.

Divide dough into 12 pieces and roll each piece into a long rope or "snake". Twist into pretzel shapes and place on baking sheet sprayed with non stick spray.

Make an egg wash ( 1 egg + 1 tb water, lightly beaten). Brush pretzels with egg wash then sprinkle liberally with Kosher salt. Bake 425 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned!
