Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Warm water
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Baking soda
• 1 tablespoon Coarse sea salt
• 1 tablespoons Olive oil for greasing

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.

Step 2

Add the sea salt and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Gradually add the all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon until the dough starts to come together.

Step 3

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Lightly grease a clean bowl with olive oil, place the dough inside, and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Allow the dough to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 6

In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water and the baking soda to a boil.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces.

Step 8

Roll each piece into a 24-inch rope and then shape it into a pretzel by forming a U shape and crossing the ends over each other, pressing them down to seal.

Step 9

Using a slotted spatula, gently lift each pretzel and dip it into the boiling baking soda bath for about 30 seconds, then transfer to the prepared baking sheets.

Step 10

Brush each pretzel lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

Step 11

Bake the pretzels in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until they turn a deep golden brown color.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
